In January 2012, the ACHE Board of Governors approved changes to the terminology used to describe ACHE continuing education credit formerly termed “Category I (ACHE education) credit” and “Category II (non-ACHE) education credit.” The following language will be used to describe the required credits:
-
“Healthcare Management Continuing Education credit“-the credit in total that is required for Fellow advancement and recertification.
-
“ACHE Face-to-Face Education credit“-credit that is earned through ACHE-approved chapter panel discussions and programs offered by the national organization.
-
“ACHE Qualified Education credit“-credit that is earned through programs offered by ACHE, chapters or other qualified sources, whether the programming is face-to-face or distance offerings (webinars, online seminars, self-study courses, etc.).
-
Note: beginning Jan. 1, 2012, distance learning-whether offered by ACHE chapters, ACHE or other qualified sources-will earn ACHE Qualified Education credit. All unexpired Category I credits will be unaffected. Candidates are able to apply all unexpired Category I credits as ACHE Face-to-Face Education credits, even if those courses were distance learning. To verify your credits please visit my.ache.org .
Affiliates wishing to advance or recertify may complete the required credits through ACHE Face-to-Face Education credits or a combination of ACHE Face-to-Face Education credits and ACHE Qualified Education credits.
