Why Compliance?
Health care organizations, medical device companies, research facilities, and others are looking for compliance professionals who understand health care laws and regulations; can develop and execute successful compliance programs; and can ethically handle compliance violations. A health care compliance certificate will provide Hamline students with a significant advantage in the competitive health care compliance field.
How Can I Become a Certified Health Care Compliance Officer?
Health care employers increasingly prefer certified compliance officers. To become certified in health care compliance, a compliance officer must pass a certification exam, with the prerequisite minimum of one year of compliance experience and 20 continuing education units. However, an aspiring compliance officer can forgo the year of experience and 20 CEUs and take the certification exam if he or she attends an accredited certification program.
