ISO: Non-licensed patient navigators! Respond by Dec. 18!

As an experienced and skilled patient navigator (other job titles may be used at your work place), Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) would like to invite you to play a part in an important statewide project by participating in the development of a skills test/examine that will be used in the voluntary credentialing process for non-licensed patient navigators (PNs).

On Saturday, Jan. 23, 2016, the Center for Advancing Professional Excellence (CAPE*) on the University of Colorado, Anschutz Campus in Aurora needs 30 experienced non-licensed PNs to assist in pilot testing the state’s future skills exam. This pilot test of the skills examine requires experienced PNs to work with professional patient actors using real-life patient scenarios. This is the same process that CAPE uses to evaluate physicians and other licensed providers’ ability to work with and communicate with patients.

Although the PNs at this pilot test are not personally being evaluated, your participation offers the opportunity to provide feedback and obtain experience related to the future testing procedures. Participants will receive a $25 gift card and be reimbursed for travel. Please see the invitation, summary of project activities, description of activities and competencies for more information.
