U Med Cred - Digital Credentials at UMMC

University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) faculty, staff, students, and affiliated personnel develop skills that may not be documented and/or visible to others but merit recognition.

When aligned with measurable learning objectives, U Med Cred digital credentials help form a common currency for skills, career development, and workforce advancement in an expanding global workplace.
