Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Areas of Specialization

Starting on December 16, 2022, if a Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Certification Program intends to add supplemental areas of specialization at their own discretion, the Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Certification Program must submit the curriculum and core competencies for the area of specialization to DHCS by May 1 prior to the start of the State Fiscal Year (SFY) (July 1 – June 30) in which the area of specialization will start. Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Certification Programs are the only entities that can submit curriculum and core competencies for a supplemental area of specialization. This process will occur every SFY for any new areas of specialization.
