Recertification



 

 

Goal of Recertification:

  1. Ensure recertified members remain aligned with the latest ISELP standards
  2. Cultivate a pool of highly qualified professionals prepared to deliver ISELP wet labs, presentations, and student-focused meetings in the future

 

ISELP Certification will be retained indefinitely.

ISELP Recertification will constitute an additional qualification and will, in the future, be required for involvement in ISELP educational programs.
