The acronym PCC can refer to different things depending on the context. Here are some possible meanings:

• Professional Certified Coach: PCC is a credential offered by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) to coaches who have completed at least 125 hours of coach-specific education and have at least 500 hours of coaching experience. PCCs have demonstrated knowledge and proficient application of the ICF Core Competencies, Code of Ethics, and definition of coaching. They are trained and experienced coaches who have shown a commitment to high ethical standards and competence in using a variety of behaviors and skills in their work with clients.

• Pistol Caliber Carbine: PCC is a type of firearm that looks like a rifle but fires handgun ammunition like 9mm, 40 S&W, and 38 Special. PCCs are shorter and easier to handle compared to regular rifles, and they may offer a more stable shooting experience due to their stock and longer handgrip. PCCs are used for home defense, competition, and recreational shooting.

• Primary Care Clinician: PCC is a term used in the Primary Care Clinician (PCC) Plan for MassHealth Members in Massachusetts. In this plan, primary care providers are called primary care clinicians (PCCs), and members select or are assigned a PCC from a network of MassHealth providers. Members can use the MassHealth network of hospitals and specialists to receive care as coordinated with their PCC and can use the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP) behavioral health provider network for behavioral health services.
