Int'l Certification Program in MediEsthetics™ & Medical Esthetics™

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Licensing vs. Certification
One of the common questions Medical & Esthetics Assoc. receives is "What is the difference between my state licensing and certification?"  With much of the medical & esthetics community focused on upcoming or pending state licensing legislation proposed, we thought we'd take a moment to clarify this important topic for our Board Certified practitioners.
 

Professional Certification is a voluntary process through which ETS/ Int'l Council on Medical Esthetics (or another non-governmental organization) recognizes individuals who have met certain qualifications. Certification confirms that an individual has mastered specific knowledge and skills within a particular field of practice.  The individual's past education and experience, as well as his or her performance on a written examination, determine whether or not certification will be granted.
 

Licensing may also involve being evaluated in order to receive credentials, but the similarities end there.  Licensing is proposed, adopted and implemented by state governments seeking to regulate who can practice, what they can practice, or what title they can use to identify themselves.
 

Medical & Esthetics Assoc. has always opposed state licensing as the determining factor for practicing Medical-Esthetics because it imposes narrow restrictions on practitioners: where they get their education, which modalities they can practice, and how they can identify themselves.  Licensing restricts freedom in health care choices for the general public and practitioners alike.  Rather, Medical & Esthetics Assoc. favors Health Freedom Laws like those that have passed in Minnesota, Rhode Island, Idaho and California, which allow freedom of choice in choosing a health care provider.  Also, the health care provider has freedom to choose whether or not he or she will become certified by a reputable certification organization.
 

Medical & Esthetics Assoc. will continue to support voluntary Medical-Esthetic certification as an alternative and complement to mandatory state licensing.  We believe that ETS/ Int'l Board on Medical Esthetics Board Certification represents the highest level of professionalism and competence.
