Which term indicates that an individual has met the certification standards for Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist?

• A. Certification
• B. Credentialing
• C. Licensure
• D. Registration

Answer: (A)

Meeting certification standards means you’ve completed the required training and demonstrated the defined competencies to a certifying body, earning official recognition as a Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist. This specific recognition shows you meet the professional standards for the role and is the term used to indicate that standard has been met. Licensure involves legal permission from the state to practice, which is separate. Registration is simply being listed on an official roster, not necessarily indicating you’ve met the certification standards. Credentialing is the broader process of verifying qualifications and may support employment or billing, but it doesn’t by itself certify that you’ve met the standards.
