+Rationale
The CSSM recertification mechanism was designed to be fundamentally different than the CNOR recertification process
CSSM is conceptualized as a mechanism to facilitate your ongoing professional development and lifelong learning
Your professional development plan will address your knowledge levels as identified by your initial certification examination scores
This recertification method was developed in response to the direction provided by our accreditation providers
+ Key Points
Professional development methods will guide and facilitate knowledge acquisition and learning experiences relative to the Job Analysis findings underlying the CSSM credential
This recertification mechanism requires a degree of planning and commitment to the process
How much work you must do in your recertification process and in which areas is linked to your performance on the CSSM certification examination
The credential cannot be maintained solely by doing CE – No matter how well you scored on the initial certification examination
+Recertification Options
There are just two choices for recertification
1. Take the certification exam again
2. The Professional Development Points Method Pre-planning is necessary The Professional Development Points Method drives
from the score on the CSSM certification examination. No one can recertify by doing only CE

+Emeritus Status CSSMs who have retired from surgical services
management may file for emeritus status. Those certificants holding emeritus status may use the
designation CSSM(E) for the balance of their professional career.
The retiree must pay a one-time fee and submit an application. The application for emeritus status must be submitted and
accepted prior to the current credential having lapsed. CSSM(E) members may be considered for CCI Board and
committee appointments.
+The Second Recertification Cycle
After the first recertification nurses holding the CSSM credential will have two choices regarding their professional development: Re-take the CSSM certification examination to again establish a
professional development course/pathway for the second recertification cycle.
Take a self-assessment examination to establish a professional development course/pathway
These methods will determine the amount of professional development activity needed to maintain the credential and also the focus of that activity
The self-assessment examination is still in development A new and different form of the CSSM certification exam will be
used for those who choose to re-test
