DIPLOMATE STATUS
Certified Forensic Mental Health
Evaluator
Upon satisfactory completion of the written and oral examination, the licensed
professional counselor candidate will be awarded a certificate suitable for
framing.
The Diplomate status certificate attests to the fact that the recipient has met
the necessary standards by the NBFE, and its peers, to act with a high degree
of professional competence as a forensic mental health evaluator.
NOTE:
As of January 31, 2009, all Certified Forensic
Mental Health Evaluators will have an expiration date on their credential to
verify that the certificant is in full compliance with the high standards of
NBFE. By January 31 of each and every year, there is an annual review of the
credentialed members current license, professional malpractice insurance as
well as a determination that all essential matters are disclosed to the NBFE
advisory board. This process will help protect the public from those who
fraudulently profess to hold a valid certification from NBFE. Additionally,
only fully certified members are listed on our website under the following
