This certificate program is designed specifically to help students obtain their CHC credential and prepare them for the CHC exam. A recent program graduate had this to share:

“As a non-attorney working in the healthcare compliance world, I cannot recommend the Health Care Compliance Certificate for Working Professionals highly enough! Although there are shorter and cheaper programs out there, I found the investment of time and money fully worth it. I loved learning side-by-side with others in my role as well as with future compliance attorneys. My outcomes include greater confidence in my role at my agency; improved effectiveness and efficiency in working with our agency compliance counsel; and passing my Certification in Health Care Compliance!”
