Why become certified?
Qualified vs. Certified.
To apply for CDP® , a health care professional
must currently hold a current license
or certificate in a health care related
profession. For most professionals,
many have been exposed to clients with
Dementia. Many have attended In-Services
and seminars that deal with Dementia
Issues and Behavior Issues. You may
be qualified to work with this special
population but not certified. Certified
states that you have taken your profession
to the next level. It states clearly
that you are educated in the field of
Dementia. Not only are you qualified
to work with dementia clients but also
you’re certified. Certification standards
require education, experience and continuing
education. Certification requires that
the CDP stays current with trends, ethics,
regulations, medications and new developments
that pertain to Dementia.
