Requirements

There are three requirements to earn the Certificate for Teaching in Healthcare Management:

1. 15 credits total
   • Courses are divided into 3-credit and 6-credit offerings
2. One 6-credit course
3. Inclusive Excellence and Belonging: Creating and Sustaining an Environment in Which All Learners Thrive

Coursework towards the certificate must be completed within a three-year period. Once an individual has earned the certificate, it remains valid for two years. Individuals may renew their certificate by completing 15 continuing education credits within that two year period.

Continuing education may come from the following sources:

• Additional ATI coursework
• AUPHA webinars that have been identified as conferring ATI CEU credits (typically 1 credit per webinar)
• AUPHA Annual Meeting sessions that have been identified as conferring ATI CEU credits (typically 1-2 credits per session)
• Portions of AUPHA's Academic Program and Practitioner Workshop that have been identified as conferring ATI CEU credits (typically 1-3 credits)

In rare circumstances, credits may be conferred by webinars or workshops offered outside of AUPHA. These credits will be processed at a fee of $15 per credit. Individuals should submit requests for external CEU credits to Jenn Munt at jmunt@aupha.org by providing an explanation of the event, how it applies to continuing education for the certificate, and proof of attendance.

AUPHA members pursuing the certificate have the option to pay up front for their certificate at a discounted rate of $850. (Doctoral student members will pay $650.) Alternatively, they may register course by course (typically paying at least $950 in total).

Non-members may also purchase and pay for the certificate in advance, at the full nonmember rate of $1,150. Individuals interested in purchasing a certificate should complete this form.

+ Non-members who plan to take more than one course should consider the cost-savings associated with first becoming an AUPHA member. For more information on membership, please contact Chris Anne Sanyer, Director of Membership, at csanyer@aupha.org.
