Sue Baldwin, assistant professor and internship program coordinator for Health and Wellness, is among the first group to earn the certification as a Master Certified Health Education Specialist (MCHES) on April 1. The newly created advanced-level certification, MCHES, is awarded by the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc. The MCHES certification attests to the individual's knowledge and understanding of the health education areas of responsibility at an advanced level, and assists employers in identifying qualified health education practitioners. The MCHES credential indicates that an individual has met three components: academic and experience requirements, passing of a certification assessment, and a compliance with ongoing continuing education requirements. This achievement is considered a milestone in an individual's professional development and a testament to the individual's commitment to continuous improvement in the health education profession.
