Licensing
vs. Certification
One of the common questions we at Medical Esthetics 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 / M&EA has always
supported state licensing, but stands for certification and Treatments
in The Hands of the Specialist and advanced certification to be the determining factor for practicing Medical-Esthetics because
it supports the excellence of the Specialist. With states having
different hour requirements and treatments allowed, certification is the
choice for showing a high standard and giving our field the respect and
support. Certification is not based on practitioners: where they get their
education, but focuses on which modalities they specialize in and and how they can identify
themselves. Licensing is essential to practice, but Certification
should determine advanced treatments and protect our careers and give the
public a sense of safety. 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. We have worked hard on your behalf in both the exam and working with associations to support the Specialist.
