HPE certificate programs are primarily designed for individuals who hold or are planning to hold academic leadership careers in the health professions (medicine, dentistry, nursing, and other allied health professions (like psychology or physical therapy) within the uniformed services, although the content is also relevant to all individuals engaged in the education of health professionals. HPE certificates are targeted for core clinical and basic science teachers and directors of courses, clerkships, residencies, and fellowships, as well as vice chairs, chairs, deans, and other administrative leaders in HPE (e.g., research directors).
CHPE offers two certificates: the I-FHPE (Introduction to Foundations in Health Professions Education) and the FHPE (Foundations in Health Professions Education. These certificates are meant for individuals who wish to enhance their skills in leadership, research, and teaching. These certificates are a stepping-stone towards our degree programs in HPE.
