The FAHQ 2025 CPHQ Prep Virtual Study Group, Fall session registration has closed. Fall session starts September 30 and runs through November 7. The FAHQ CPHQ Team has made some important improvements based on input from our attendees and presenters. We are now including access to more ‘practice’ exam questions and are moving to present weekly content with presenter slides and slide handouts. We have expanded the two content sessions that represent over 40% of exam questions (Health Data Analytics and Performance & Process Improvement) to 1 1/2 hours each. We are still keeping to the one hour Tuesday sessions, but those two sessions will now be presented over 3 weeks. Download the FAHQ 2025 FALL CPHQ VIRTUAL STUDY GROUP CALENDAR with this link.
Each week on Tuesday we will cover sections of the CPHQ Exam Content Outline for one hour and on Friday we will hold an Open Office Hour to address questions on content, review of practice questions and other exam preparation strategies.

FAHQ’s participation in the Healthcare Quality Collective (HQC) provides FAHQ members access to state and regional CPHQ Prep courses at HQC association member rates.
The National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) no longer licenses review course content to state quality associations, so FAHQ cannot directly offer a course to our membership. However, NAHQ does have a wide variety of options for participating in one of their courses and accessing other NAHQ products to aid in your preparation. NAHQ is planning their 2025 instructor-led live virtual CPHQ Prep Courses for:
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.
Contact FAHQ CPHQ Team for questions, additional information, or to suggest other ways your association can help our members in preparing for the certification exam. Want to be a mentor? Let us know at CPHQteam@fahq.org.
