Health Care Risk Financing Certificate Program

This course is designed to help risk managers learn key risk financing information and techniques, as well as how to better analyze and promote their own programs. From reviewing loss runs to understanding actuarial reports, an educated risk manager can more fully engage their c/suite by facilitating conversations around the financial implications of the risk management program to the organization. 

The course starts by looking at insurance policies and ends with marketing the insurance program to the carriers – illustrating how the options of risk financing can parallel the organization’s philosophy on risk identification, mitigation, and resolution. By setting the foundational knowledge, and then adding case studies and an actuarial overview, the course is comprehensive and practical.

The certificate program uses a live virtual learning approach, which provides attendees with on-demand educational videos, discussion boards, readings, assignments, and knowledge checks as well as 5 weekly live calls with faculty. Upon completion of the Risk Financing Certificate Program attendees will earn 14.5 contact hours and ANCC contact hours which can be applied to the CPHRM renewal.
