Paramedics who complete the CP@clinic Program Training will now earn a ‘CP@clinic Paramedic Training Program Microcredential’ from McMaster University! 

The McMaster University Continuing Education microcredential is an official recognition of a paramedic’s achievement of the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to implement the CP@clinic Program. Paramedics will receive a digital microcredential for completing the CP@clinic training, which has also been accredited by the Global Paramedic Higher Education Council.

Microcredentials are issued in a digital format. Paramedics will be sent a secure link to access their tamper-proof and verifiable credential that includes the issuing institution, the date earned, learning outcomes, and evaluation criteria. A digital microcredential can be used in several ways:

• It can be added to a resume, printed and given to to an employer or prospective employer, or 
• Shared on LinkedIn, Twitter, or other online platforms and organization websites.
