The CSSM® Certification Program
The Certified Surgical Services Manager (CSSM®) certification program is for perioperative leaders interested in improving and validating their managerial knowledge and skills so as to advance the performance of their surgical services department.

CSSM® certification validates the achievement of the baccalaureate prepared manager who demonstrates current proficiency as an administrator in the perioperative (pre-, intra-, and post-operative) setting.

CCI delivers the CSSM® exam to recognize the important role managers have in directing staff, programs and budgets in delivering safe patient care. The purpose of the CSSM® exam is to provide recognition for the important and distinct role of surgical services managers.
