Keep your 不良研究所certification active by staying in compliance with the Certification Continuation Program (CCP). Continuing education and other activities count toward fulfilling your requirements.

Q1: Who needs to comply with CCP?

A: All individuals initially certified on or after January 1, 2006.

Note: Individuals originally certified prior to January 1, 2006, who have let their active membership lapse longer than three years, will have to reactivate by completing the recertification process and will then be subject to the three-year CCP cycle.

Q2: How often do I need to show compliance?

A: Every three years as reflected by your 3-year CCP cycle dates stated on your 不良研究所Membership Card or under My Certifications and Membership Status on My 不良研究所Portal.

Note: Certified members who do not meet the CCP requirements, or those who are audited and do not provide supporting documentation, are considered Non-Compliant and will be decertified.

Q3: Can I comply with the CCP program by retaking the certification examination?

A: No, retaking the examination to comply with CCP is NOT an option.

Q4: What documentation is required?

A: You will NOT need to submit any documentation to 不良研究所unless you are included in the random audit or in the process of recertifying.

  • 不良研究所encourages you to use AMTrax to track your CE and other related activities online. If CCP compliance is met through AMTrax, you will not need to do anything further, unless you are audited.
  • If you have NOT been tracking with AMTrax and/or you have not yet reached your required number of CCP points, you will receive a CCP compliance notice multiple times prior the end of your three-year cycle noting how many CCP points are still outstanding and asking you to attest to reaching the required number of points by the end of your CCP cycle. You will need to obtain the required number of points and either record your points in AMTrax or send the CCP Attestation Form to 不良研究所to remain in compliance. How does the CCP Program work?

Q5: How long do I need to keep my supporting documentation?

A: 不良研究所recommends you keep it for minimum of 1 cycle (3 years) beyond the three-year CCP compliance period.

Q6: How will I know whether a continuing education course or other professional activities that I am involved in will be accepted for CCP?

A: As a general rule of thumb, if your activity relates to a specific item on the exam content outline of the certification you achieved, the activity will qualify. View your specific exam content outline.

Generally, 不良研究所will accept any activity that meets at least one of the following criteria:

  1. Does it help you do your (health care) job better?
  2. Does it advance your knowledge in the health care field?
  3. Does it prepare you for an advanced management or health care degree or a different program of study in health care?

Examples of acceptable documentation are listed under each Qualifying Activities. Print the CCPGuidance Document.

Q7: Are there additional fees for certified members in regard to CCP?

A: There are no additional fees outside the annual renewal fee for all members.

  • Failing to pay your annual fee will result in a loss of your member benefits and could result in decertification.
