A proctored, real-world assessment that validates applied EMR workflow competency — not just course completion.
EMR Workflow Credential
Demonstrate your ability to work in an electronic medical record (EMR) environment before your first healthcare office job.
The EMR Workflow Credential is a competency-based assessment completed in an EMR simulation environment used for healthcare training.
Practice real clinic workflows
Demonstrate job-ready digital health skills
Strengthen your healthcare job applications
Why This Credential Exists
Healthcare employers often expect candidates to have experience using electronic medical record systems.
However, many graduates from Medical Office Assistant and Unit Clerk programs face the same challenge — gaining EMR experience before securing their first role.
The EMR Workflow Credential was designed to help bridge this gap by allowing individuals to demonstrate their ability to complete common EMR workflows in a simulated clinical environment.
What the Credential Is
The EMR Workflow Credential is a practical skills assessment, not a training course.
Participants complete a structured series of tasks within an EMR simulation environment used by healthcare training programs across Canada.
The assessment focuses on common administrative workflows such as:
• Patient registration
• Appointment scheduling
• Chart navigation
• Documentation tasks
• Workflow management
Participants who successfully complete the assessment receive credential documentation issued by Choice EMR Learning.
How the Assessment Works
Step 1 – Join the interest list
Individuals interested in completing the credential can join the credential interest list to receive launch updates and scheduling information.
Step 2 – Complete the assessment
Participants complete a timed workflow challenge inside the EMR simulation environment.
Step 3 – Credential confirmation
Successful candidates receive confirmation of completion which can be shared with employers.
Assessment Integrity
To ensure fairness and credibility, the EMR Workflow Credential assessment is proctored and completed within a controlled simulation environment.
This helps ensure that individuals completing the credential demonstrate their own ability to perform common EMR workflows.
Additional details about the assessment format and scheduling will be shared with individuals on the credential interest list as the program launches.
Who This Is For
The credential assessment is designed for individuals who have completed healthcare administration training or have some familiarity with electronic medical record workflows.
This may include:
• Medical Office Assistant graduates
• Unit Clerk graduates
• Healthcare administration students
• Job seekers entering healthcare office roles
Individuals who are new to EMR systems may wish to complete training before attempting the credential assessment.
For Employers
The EMR Workflow Credential indicates that a candidate has completed a structured assessment of common EMR workflows within a healthcare simulation environment.
