Professional Restorative Medicine Certifications
Advance your career and demonstrate your mastery of Restorative Medicine related skills.
ACRM has developed criteria to determine competence in the practice of restorative medicine for allied health professionals (including nurses, medical assistants, and technologists) and recognizes individuals meeting these criteria through its certification programs.
ACRM certification is recognized as the professional standard in restorative medicine — a unique identifier that can demonstrate your professional expertise and open new doors throughout the field.
The skillset required to complete certification includes a deep understanding and knowledge of the principles of Restorative Medicine, the application of those principles to real-life situations and scenarios in healthcare, and knowledge on how to have a lasting impact on patient care.
