Educational Roadmap

How do I create my Educational Roadmap?

Step 1.) Review the recertification requirements:

You must be a National Member in Good Standing in order to use CEUs for recertification.  This applies to all five certification programs.  If you choose not to become a member, you must re-test to recertify.  

Step 2.) Determine how many CEUs you need in order to recertify:

Please note: At least 50% of your CEUs must be from AAHAM

How can I obtain AAHAM CEUs?

All AAHAM webinars are worth double CEUs (1 hour of education = 2 CEUs).  You can register for upcoming webinars by clicking here.  You can watch prerecorded webinars here by scrolling to the webinar archive or the certification training webinars.

Approved CEUs vs. Denied CEUs

To provide guidelines for recertification and CEU submission, The Certification Committees have drafted the following questions a certificant can ask themselves to assist in determining whether or not a submission will be accepted:

 

  • Is this an AAHAM-sponsored event? (Automatically accepted) Yes or No - If "Yes" the course is automatically accepted; additional questions are not needed. If "No", it may still be accepted; move to the next question.
  • Was this professional development? Yes or No - If "Yes" move to the next question. If "No", it is automatically not accepted. 
  • Was it related to the revenue cycle OR to ethics, DEI, or leadership within the workplace? Yes or No - If "Yes" move to the next question. If "No", it is automatically not accepted. 
  • Is the learning transferable to a role at another institution? Yes or No - If "Yes" move to the next question. If "No", it is automatically not accepted
  • Is the session at least 15 minutes or longer? Yes or No - If "Yes" The session will more than likely be accepted. If "No", it is automatically not accepted.

Additional CEUs can be earned in the following ways:

Examples of activities that do not qualify for CEUs:

 

  1. Technical or collegiate coursework not relating to healthcare administrative management.
