4 Easy Steps For Completing A Course

Benefits of the Self Study Program

Courses Offered

Completing the course and earning credits is easy:

  2. READ the material.
  3. ANSWER the self-graded questions.

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.

     
2.Read
  Each Self-Study course is contained in 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. The book you need to complete each course is listed on this web page. 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 Amanda Bove, Self-Study Program Editor, at (312) 424-9483 or at e-mail above@ache.org.
