What Is CMCP Certification?
The Certified Medical Courier Professional (CMCP) program is designed to help medical couriers understand the responsibilities involved in transporting sensitive healthcare materials and information.
Medical courier work involves more than driving from one location to another. Depending on the assignment, couriers may need to protect patient information, secure packages, follow temperature instructions, maintain chain-of-custody procedures, recognize hazards, document deliveries, and report problems.
CMCP brings these topics together in one structured medical courier certification program.
The program is intended for new and experienced medical couriers, independent contractors, healthcare delivery drivers, laboratory couriers, pharmacy delivery personnel, and courier company employees.
CMCP is a private professional training credential. It is not a federal or state medical courier license.
What Does a Medical Courier Need to Know?
Medical couriers may encounter sensitive information, diagnostic specimens, pharmaceuticals, dry ice shipments, hazardous materials, and other healthcare-related deliveries.
CMCP training helps learners understand how to:
- Protect patient and client information
- Follow secure pickup and delivery procedures
- Maintain chain-of-custody documentation
- Protect specimen integrity during transportation
- Recognize common workplace and transportation hazards
- Inspect prepared packages before acceptance
- Secure packages inside a vehicle
- Recognize UN3373 Biological Substance, Category B shipments
- Understand common dry ice transportation hazards
- Protect mobile devices and courier applications
- Respond appropriately to spills, leaks, accidents, and exposures
- Recognize suspicious or unauthorized delivery requests

Inspect. Protect. Secure. Document. Report.
