The Hospice and Palliative Credentialing Center (HPCC), the leading provider of certification programs for hospice and palliative care professionals, has selected PSI as its full-service testing provider for certification program examination services.
With an established 22-year partnership with HPCC, PSI will continue to provide full administration, maintenance, and development of the current certification examinations for the six levels of hospice and palliative care professionals through PSI’s platform PSI Dimensions™. HPCC candidates will also experience enhanced support features including a toll-free phone line dedicated to HPCC and their candidates. HPCC also recognizes the growing emergence of online proctoring and has added live online proctoring as an additional delivery channel for their programs in this new agreement.
PSI offers the industry’s most robust multi-modal exam delivery system with proven success delivering certification examinations worldwide. In addition to an extensive test center network, PSI’s multiple testing modalities meet a wide range of testing needs, including local event testing, performance-based testing, and multiple online proctoring modalities.
