How do I complete a course and earn credits?
You can complete a Self-Study course in four easy steps:
1. Purchase
The program includes courses on timely topics as well as healthcare management
fundamentals. Complete as many courses as you'd like, in whatever order you'd like, on
any topics you'd like. You need not complete all the courses in a particular subject
area. Courses must be completed within two years of the date of purchase. Some courses
use the same book but require reading from different chapters. Each Self-Study course
costs $345 for ACHE affiliates, $430 for nonaffiliates, (shipping not included) and
each accompanying book is 20 percent off the original price. You may purchase courses
and their accompanying books either online through the links below or by calling (301)
362-6905.
Print the order form (PDF).
2. Read
Each Self-Study course is a booklet that provides an overview of the
course topic, readings, a self-graded test, and a completion form. The booklet will
also provide directions for more detailed reading in the corresponding book. Questions
or comments about the content may be directed to the author; the author’s
information is included in each course. All other questions or comments may be directed to
Health Administration Press via e-mail to hap1@ache.org.
3. Answer
The self-graded test is contained in the Self-Study course booklet. The questions will
assess your knowledge of the material covered in the course.
4. Mail or Fax
A certificate of completion and an ACHE education status letter will be mailed to you
approximately two weeks after your completion form, evaluation form, and answers are
received. Fax the three forms and answers to: (312) 424-0014, or mail to:
Self-Study Program Editor, ACHE, One North Franklin Street, Suite 1700, Chicago,
