Medical Tourism Facilitator Certification Program 2008-2009

 

The Medical Tourism Association has launched a “pilot program” of certification of medical tourism facilitators who are involved in the coordination of patient care for patients traveling from one country to another. This pilot program will be open to Medical Tourism Association members for a period of six months. The certification process is a detailed process of evaluation which may take up to 90 to 120 days to complete. Those Medical Tourism Facilitators who have applied for certification will be listed on the website as “ In Application Process.” Successful Members will be listed on the website as “Certified Members.”  Applying for certification is not a guarantee of medical tourism certification and medical tourism certification can be revoked at any time for any cause. 

 

The medical tourism certification program is a “living and breathing” program so requirements may change as development and input is received from the medical tourism industry.   Successful Members of the pilot project will receive a temporary certification as changes are made to the program during the first six month period.  Any changes to the application will be resubmitted to the applicant for completion and review.  Successful Members will then receive their two year certification at that time.  The MTA certification program and fee will provide two years of certification.  A reevaluation form is required to be submitted after one year subject to review.  Fees are paid every two years and the biannual fee is $2,500.00 USD.

 

The Medical Tourism Association believes in transparency in the Medical Tourism Industry and therefore the application for certification may be downloaded below.  Applications and questions regarding this program may be submitted to certify@medicaltourismassociation.com
