What is a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant?

A Certified Legal Nurse Consultant (CLNC) works as an adjunct to the legal team assisting the attorney in being astutely prepared regarding any and all medical issues related to the case.

CLNC's also consult and collaborate with various organizations including hospitals, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and other medical-related groups or organizations.

After obtaining a nursing degree, a nursing license, and years of nursing experience, certification is accomplished through medical-legal education from an accredited institute. 

The CLNC® registered certification mark is a federally registered certification mark and represents the official certification of the National Alliance of Certified Legal Nurse Consultants. Its use is permitted only to those who have met and maintained national certification standards.
