SCHEDULE, ACCESS, RESOURCES |
WELCOME! Thank you for registering for the 2025 Fall CPHQ Prep Virtual Study Group.
As you know, The Study Group is NOT a prep course. The sessions will provide information on the exam, study resources, self-assessment of your own readiness and how to address those areas of the content outline you identify as needing additional preparation. Your moderators will provide this information and share their experiences and knowledge from working with other exam candidates. We do hope some of each session will be spent answering your specific questions about content and your preparation needs, as well as providing time for all participants to interact and share best practice about their own preparation processes.
Information on upcoming Virtual CPHQ Prep Courses provided by Healthcare Quality Collective association partners and by NAHQ can be found on the FAHQ website at CPHQ Review and Preparation.
