You are invited to apply to be certified as a Mulligan Concept ® Practitioner (CMP).
The CMP process is a unique professional pathway to assist you to better develop your clinical skills and reasoning for the ultimate benefit of your clients. The CMP certification process is focused on assisting the clinician in a formal process to better develop their knowledge base and skill competence in the Mulligan Concept ®, and then have that competency evaluated by peer review/examination process.
CMP’s are a referral source for other clinicians and the general public, seeking treatment from clinicians who achieved a recognised level of competence in the Mulligan Concept ®. The successful CMP practitioner will be eligible to have their names listed on the Mulligan (www.bmulligan.com) web sites; they could also be listed on other regional websites.
The assessment process for the CMP credentialing includes both a didactic and manual skills assessment; the pass mark is 80% as high competence is expected. Upon successful completion of the examination process these clinicians will be recognised as Certified Mulligan Practitioners (CMP).
Notification on teaching: Individuals who pass the CMP qualifying exam are NOT entitled to, nor are they recognized by the MCTA to formally teach Mulligan Concept ® courses.
