Important Note
The IMCAC Professional Certification Framework (IPCF) is a competency-based professional certification system designed to support structured career progression. It does not replace national licensure, professional registration, academic qualifications, or specialist recognition. Certification does not grant independent practice rights or expand a participant's legal scope of practice. Levels 4–5 are intended for clinical support professionals working under appropriate supervision, while Levels 6–8 are reserved for registered or licensed healthcare practitioners who satisfy IMCAC eligibility requirements. All certificants are responsible for complying with the laws, regulations, and professional standards governing healthcare practice in their respective jurisdictions.
