Medical Chaperones

Medical Chaperones

A medical chaperone is an objective witness who serves to verify what is said and done in the clinical setting. PBI Education’s Medical Chaperone Training Program is designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for one to serve as an effective chaperone, a valued member of the healthcare team.

Many chaperones are provided during patient appointments by medical offices on a voluntary, as-needed basis. Some states mandate that healthcare providers have a medical chaperone present during sensitive exams.
By contrast, some healthcare professionals are mandated by a regulatory (licensing) board, institution, or other credentialing or oversight entity to chaperone a particular healthcare professional. By definition, this latter type of chaperone is expected to function to a higher standard of accountability than voluntary, as-needed chaperones. Each edition of the course will cover as needed chaperones, the mandated edition of the program goes into deeper detail into the reporting requirements in place for mandated chaperones.
