The certification bundle includes all three essential components for your CMD certification: Online Core Curriculum, Core Synthesis, and Certification Application Fee. Your CMD application fee is non-refundable.

• A refund of the full certification bundle fee, minus the CMD application fee, if the request is sent to registration@paltmed.org within 7 calendar days of registration and no progress has been made in the Online Core Curriculum.
• A refund of 50% of the registration fee less a $100 administrative fee if the request is received by registration@paltmed.org within:
  • 30 calendar days of registration and no more than 50% progress has been made in the Online Core Curriculum. Or,
  • 14 calendar days of the date of the Core Synthesis.
• If it becomes necessary to cancel or postpone the dates of the Core Synthesis, the Association will not be responsible for travel or hotel costs incurred by the registrant.
• A full refund of the registration fees will be paid if the Core Synthesis is not re-scheduled or the registrant cannot attend the rescheduled Core Synthesis.
• No refunds will be granted for individuals who claim continuing education credits or do not complete the Online Core Curriculum within the 6-month period given.
• No refunds will be granted after 30 calendar days of registration.
  • If you have a conflict that arises for the Core Synthesis date, we can transfer you to a future Core Synthesis at no cost.
