U Med Cred - Digital Credentials at UMMC

UMMC U Med Cred LogoOur digital credential initiative, U Med Cred, represents the dedication to teaching and learning excellence that the University of Mississippi Medical Center embraces for all schools and in all departments for students, staff and faculty. A digital credential is an information-rich visual exemplification of a verifiable achievement that contains metadata explaining the context, meaning, processes, and outcomes of learning engagements.

U Med Cred credentials display skills and experiences that may not be displayed on an academic transcript, a resume, or a CV. They are linked to secure, shareable electronic files and can demonstrate skills and learning outcomes to prospective employers, colleagues, faculty, and peers. U Med Cred credentials may be requested for the following areas:

  • Clinical skills
  • Professional development (for faculty and staff)
  • Simulation
  • Student professional developmentĀ 

When aligned with measurable learning objectives, digital credentials help UMMC provide a common currency for skills, career development, and workforce advancement. U Med Cred is provided as an enterprise-wide initiative.

Therefore, with supervisory approval, UMMC faculty, staff, and students may submit a request for approval of a U Med Cred credential by logging in to the secure UMMC Intranet and filling out the digital credential request form.

To view available credentials, visit our Credly enterprise site. Descriptions and requirements are detailed for each credential.
