DIGITAL Badging
Digital Badges: Showcasing Skills and Progress in Health Education
Digital badges are virtual credentials that offer significant value to health science learners by providing a flexible and verifiable way to showcase their competencies, achievements and continuous learning progress.
For health science professionals—whose ongoing education is critical to career growth—digital badges communicate not only expertise in a specialized area, but also a commitment to staying current with evolving practices and standards.
Students can display these icons in places like their LinkedIn bio, email signature and employer profile to enhance their professional portfolio, improve employability, and foster greater recognition within the healthcare community.
On a higher level, badging promotes student engagement, awareness about the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus as a global leader in health sciences education, and a higher standard of care across all health science fields.
Our office helps your program get started with digital badging through our credentialing partner, Credly.
