Certified Mastectomy Fitter (CMF) Requirements:
Post-mastectomy breast forms and mastectomy bras are medical devices that are important for a woman’s physical and emotional health, so it is vital that our retailers are trained to fit their customers properly. After mastectomy surgery, a doctor writes a prescription for specialized breast forms and lingerie, and a Certified Mastectomy Fitter helps her patients fill the prescriptions by fitting her with the appropriate breast form and mastectomy bra for her individual needs. CMFs go through training, testing, and licensing about post-mastectomy products and patient sensitivity.
Nearly Me Technologies, Inc. is dedicated to providing its retailers with the most innovative, up-to-date information on the mastectomy market, proper fitting training, and product information about catering to customers with care and professionalism.
We are pleased to announce that our Mastectomy training course has been approved as one of the Entry Level School courses for Mastectomy Fitter Certification and/or Continuing Education Credits by the Board for Orthotists/Prosthetist Certification (BOC) and American Board for Certification in Orthotics & Prosthetics, Inc. (ABC).
Our comprehensive course is an introduction to all that encompasses a mastectomy fitting from the very basic understanding of cancer to the most detailed questions regarding how to handle specific fitting situations. It covers every aspect of a mastectomy fitting and how to anticipate the special needs of your customers.
The course approval is exciting for us, our current dealers, and our potential customers. Below you can preview the dates available for the Entry Level School Mastectomy training course. (This is a full, one day program.)
If you would like to sign up for one of the Entry Level Schools, please email or call us. If you are interested in having this course taught at your store location, please contact your account manager or call us at 1-800-887-3370 for details.
