Certified Healthcare CPD Professional (CHCP) Credential
|
Thank you for your interest to renew your Certified Healthcare CPD Professional (CHCP) credential. To renew the CHCP credential, applicants must meet the requirements for both Section 1 and Section 2.
For Section 1, applications must meet the requirements of either 1A: CPD Informal Education or 1B: CPD Engagement.
This Recertification Form requests information related to the two sections of requirements:
Section 1: Healthcare Professional (HCP) CPD Education / CPD Engagement: You must fulfill either education or engagement.
A: Informal Education: Within the last 3 years, you must have completed at least 20 hours of education pertaining to the CPD of healthcare professionals. Neither job-related functions nor clinical educations meet this element.
B: Engagement: Within the last five years, you must have demonstrated engagement in activities supporting CPD for the healthcare professions. This may include but not be limited to:
Volunteering within or for local, state, regional, national, or international organizations dedicated to HCP CPD, medical societies or associations, professional healthcare membership organizations, accredited organizations offering CE credit for HCPs, or other related areas. This may also include peer review for published or presented HCP CPD content. Serving as a peer reviewer for accrediting bodies also may be included. 30 hours of any volunteering effort (i.e. participation in a state/local/regional/national organization, serving as a peer reviewer, or surveyor,) meets this requirement.
Membership in any professional organizations related to CPD for the healthcare professions (eg, the Alliance; GAME; NAMEC; AMEE; MACCME; GACME; IACME; CACME, etc) or other professional associations. At least 1 year of membership in any professional organization (i.e. ACEHP, SACME, GAME, NAMEC, AMEE, MACCME, GACME, IACME, CACME, or other) meets this requirement. You may be asked to provide additional information on why a membership may meet this criterion.
Other engagement pertaining to the CPD of healthcare professionals that can be described in the Eligibility Form. Examples include but are not limited to publishing or presenting content related to the CPD of healthcare professionals.
Section 2: Work Experience: You must have a minimum of three years of part-time or full-time employment or contracted professional experience related to CPD of the healthcare professions within the last three years. Your on-the-job experience is an asset in your journey toward CHCP certification. If you have an unpaid position, such as a long-term volunteer position, you may include it here.
Once the CHCP Eligibility Committee reviews your responses, you will be contacted by Alliance staff to let you know whether your CHCP certification has been renewed.
