CPHQ Review and Preparation

CPHQ Prep Virtual Study Group 

The FAHQ Professional Development Team (PDT) developed and hosted two virtual study groups in 2022 that were well received. We are now planning our next study group beginning September 24, with weekly sessions through October 29.  The CPHQ Virtual Study Group will be led by a CPHQ-certified moderator as well as other CPHQ-certified subject matter experts who will share their knowledge of the exam content outline, preparation tips, and effective use of additional resources.  Our format will follow the 2023 CPHQ Content Outline.  This year we are also including a free “Open Office Hour” weekly on Friday to answer your questions and provide additional guidance on your preparation.

Join us on August 6, 2024 at 12:00 PM EDT for a free webinar to describe the planned Virtual Study Group and to answer all of your questions before you register.  Because this is a free webinar, you can register directly in our webinar platform.

Fees for content sessions beginning September 24. 
Registration will open in August. Fee includes all 5 content sessions and access to the free weekly “Open Office Hour” each Friday:

  • FAHQ Members – $25.00 (Healthcare Quality Collective Members attend at FAHQ Rate. Contact FAHQ CPHQ Team  for coupon code to register at FAHQ member rate.)

CPHQ Prep Mentoring (FAHQ Members Only)

FAHQ offers mentoring by a currently certified CPHQ to assist our members in their preparation for the examination.  The mentor/mentee relationship is established after an initial assessment of the FAHQ member’s study needs.  If you are already in a study group at your workplace or virtually, FAHQ will consider assigning a mentor to the group.

Please review the Mentorship Guidelines and Mentoring Agreement and  for a better understanding of requirements.  Then contact the FAHQ Professional Development Team to request a mentor for CPHQ Prep.
