The CAHIIM training series is designed to meet the needs of educators by providing training at a time that is convenient to your schedule. The CAHIIM Accreditation Training Series (CATS) is designed for Health Information Management (HIM) and Health Informatics (HI) degree programs and explores the areas where most questions arise in the accreditation process. Courses will change each year as changes occur in curriculum and CAHIIM accreditation criteria and policies. The library of offerings will expand with time. Be sure to suggest an area that you would like to see addressed in the future to info@cahiim.org.
The series is available to any CAHIIM Accredited or candidacy program at no additional charge and provides quick answers to topics where most questions arise in the initial and continued accreditation process. All offerings are free to CAHIIM programs except for the workshop courses.
The Conference series is available at no charge for individuals that attended the in-person workshop by CAHIIM and is available for a fee for those that did not attend in person.
