Chemical Quantities and Reactions

The Chemistry for Allied Health Professionals credential documents competencies that include the knowledge of basic chemistry required for many allied health professionals. Typically these positions must have a basic understanding of chemicals and chemical processes of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. They do not necessarily need to be able to complete lab tasks using this knowledge, but do need to understand the concepts as a fundamental knowledge base for the medical concepts within their scope of work. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to explain qualities and concepts of chemicals related to chemical reactions including measurement by mole and mole relationships, use of chemical equations, and chemical reactions.
