Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
The Medical Library Association offers credentialing through membership in the Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP). Candidates submit a portfolio of their professional activities, which qualifies them for membership. Membership must be renewed every five years so continuing education is recommended. According to the AHIP, earnings for credentialed medical librarians are generally higher than that of noncredentialed medical librarians.
