APSATS has approved the following certification process for those clinicians who have completed the 4 day APSATS MPTM Certification Training program. Once the applicant has successfully completed the training and receives a certificate of completion of the program, the applicant will then complete the following requirements for consideration for Certification by APSATS as a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS).
Certification is designed to take place no earlier than 9 months, and must be completed within a 2 year (24 month) time period after taking the APSATS MPTM Certification Training program. Please note that these requirements are our initial requirements. We reserve the right to make changes to these requirements in the future as deemed necessary by the Board of Directors.
Licensed Clinician: Be a licensed clinical professional in your state or be able to demonstrate with verifiable documentation that you are qualified to practice as a clinical professional in your country.
Associate/Intern/Limited Licensed Clinician: Be licensed as an Associate or Intern clinical professional in your state or be able to demonstrate with verifiable documentation that you are seeking qualifications to practice as a clinical professional in your country.
An Intern/Associate/Limited License Clinician may register for MPTM and begin APSATS consultation supervision upon completion of the MPTM training, however, designation as a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS) will not be conferred until the Intern/Associate/Limited License clinician is fully licensed. Until that time, the clinician will have a CCPS-Associate (CCPS-A) designation. When licensure is complete, the individual will contact APSATS, offer documentation showing the newly acquired license, and will then be converted to CCPS.
