Certified Professional in Healthcare Risk Management (CPHRM)

Administered by the American Hospital Association, the Certified Professional in Healthcare Risk Management (CPHRM) is the healthcare industry’s premier certification for the risk management profession. The American Hospital Association’s Certification Center determines eligibility requirements, exam content, testing procedures and other aspects of the certification, and oversees the examination process.

CPHRM Exam Preparation Course

Audience
Eligible ASHRM members interested in preparing for the CPHRM Certification exam can do so through the CPHRM Examination Preparation Course, a review course available as a webinar series or a face-to-face program.

Description
The CPHRM Exam Prep course is designed to help eligible risk management professionals take the exam. While the course is not designed to teach foundational concepts, it can help participants focus on content areas that may require a more in-depth review, as well as identify familiar content areas for which a more cursory review will suffice. The agenda for the course corresponds to the six major content areas of the CPHRM Exam detailed in the CPHRM Candidate Handbook and Application (PDF).
