Partnering with Employers to Raise the Standard of Care
At the National Medical Accreditation and Certification Board (NMCAB), we believe that strong, credible credentials require collaboration with employers. Our goal is to ensure that certified professionals not only meet rigorous standards but also deliver measurable value in real healthcare settings. Employers who work with NMCAB get several advantages in hiring, workforce development, and quality assurance.
What Employers Gain by Using NAC™ Credentials
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Verified Competence | NAC™ credentials are built from detailed job analyses and validate that staff have mastered the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for their role. |
| Reduced On-boarding Time | When hires already meet credential requirements, employers spend less time training and can deploy them more quickly. |
| Improved Patient Safety & Quality | The competencies tested include safety, infection control, procedural accuracy, and ethical behavior. Credentialed employees help uphold institutional standards. |
| Consistent Workforce Standards | Whether you’re hiring clinical, diagnostic, surgical, or administrative staff, NAC™ credentials offer uniform benchmarks across roles. |
| Employer Recognition & Branding | Employers with NAC™-credentialed staff demonstrate commitment to excellence. This can enhance reputation and help with recruitment. |
How Employers Can Engage with NMCAB
- Screening & Hiring
Use NAC™ credentials as part of your hiring criteria to ensure candidates are credential-ready. - Partnering for Training
Collaborate with NMCAB to align internal training programs with credential blueprints, ensuring your teams can attain or maintain NAC™ status. - In-house Proctoring / Exam Delivery
Host certification exams onsite, which helps reduce travel/time burden for your staff. - Continuing Education & Renewal Support
Provide CEUs or on-job practice hours to help employees meet renewal requirements. - Feedback & Validation

Employer Responsibilities
To make these partnerships work well, employers are encouraged to:
- Understand the NAC™ exam blueprints and job domains that apply to your roles.
- Ensure staff have access to the equipment, training, or clinical exposure needed to meet those domains.
- Support documentation needs for eligibility and renewal (work hours, CEUs).
- Commit to ethical standards, compliance, and professionalism in all certified roles.
