Why certification?
It is of vital importance that there is an ongoing process for knowledge and certification of Central Service (CS) professionals involved in cleaning, disinfection, sterilization and distribution of sterile supplies. Certification provides personal identity, ongoing learning and professional development. SPSmedical supports educational development and competency based certification for sterile processing personnel.
