CIC created the CMP-HC to recognize the specialized knowledge required by professionals who manage healthcare meetings and provide additional professional benefits, including career enhancement and professional recognition. The certification is a subspecialty of the CMP, so only those who have already earned the CMP designation will be eligible to pursue the CMP-HC.
