Candidates and certificate holders agree to conduct themselves in an ethical and professional manner and demonstrate practice-related behavior that is indicative of professional integrity.
Eight Core Obligations
By acceptance into the program or issuance of a certification, every MGTI candidate and certificate holder agrees to:
- Maintain professional competence
- Demonstrate work behavior exemplifying safe, competent performance with sound judgment
- Conduct activities with honesty and integrity
- Avoid discrimination based on age, gender, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, or marital status
- Avoid conflicts of interest
- Abide by industry regulatory laws and regulations
- Abide by MGTI program rules and regulations
- Maintain the confidentiality of MGTI examination content
Confidentiality of Examination Content
A candidate or certified person shall not copy, reproduce, record, photograph, transmit, distribute, disclose, or discuss any examination question, answer, or examination material, in whole or in part, whether during or after an examination, and shall not seek access to examination content other than by sitting an examination administered by MGTI.
All MGTI examination questions are the copyrighted property of the Medical Gas Training Institute. Copying, reproducing, recording, distributing, or displaying them by any means, in whole or in part, is forbidden under federal copyright law, may result in civil and criminal penalties, and is cause for removal from the certification rolls.
Infraction Definition
An infraction is defined as misconduct for which acceptance into the program, granting of certification, or renewal of certification may be delayed or denied, or for which acceptance in the program or a certification may be revoked.
Reporting an Infraction
To protect these credentials and to ensure responsible practice, MGTI depends on its candidates, certificate holders, employers, the profession, regulatory agencies, and the public to report incidents that may violate these standards.
Because a report may lead to the suspension or withdrawal of a named individual's certification, and because that individual must be able to answer an identified accuser, only signed, written communication is considered. Send reports to the Program Manager, Medical Gas Training Institute, 470 Mast Road, Suite B, Goffstown, NH 03045, or by email to support@medgasinstitute.com.
MGTI becomes involved only in matters that can be factually determined, and commits to handling any situation as fairly and expeditiously as possible. During its investigation MGTI protects the confidentiality of those who provided the information to every possible extent, and the named individual is afforded every opportunity to respond.
This route is for reporting a certificate holder. Dissatisfaction with MGTI itself — its personnel, its processes, or a training provider — and any request to reconsider a decision MGTI has made about you are handled separately. Contact MGTI and see the candidate handbook issued for your certification.
