Read the first 7 Eligibility Requirements flashcards as text

  1. Which of the following professionals is NOT eligible to sit for the CCHP exam?

    Answer: A physician with no correctional health experience

    Eligible applicants must have at least 1 year of full-time equivalent experience in a correctional health setting, regardless of professional title.

  2. What is the minimum number of continuing education hours required for CCHP recertification during each 3-year cycle?

    Answer: 60 hours

    CCHP recertification requires 60 continuing education hours relevant to correctional health over each 3-year certification period.

  3. A pharmacist applying for CCHP certification who works part-time (20 hours/week) in a correctional facility would need how many months to meet the 1-year FTE experience requirement?

    Answer: 24 months

    Because a full-time equivalent equals 40 hours/week, a 20-hour/week worker accumulates FTE at half the rate, needing 24 months to equal 1 FTE year.

  4. Which credential is recognized by NCCHC as satisfying the professional license requirement for CCHP eligibility?

    Answer: A current, unrestricted license, registration, or certification in a healthcare field

    Applicants must hold a current, unrestricted professional license, registration, or certification in a recognized healthcare discipline.

  5. If a CCHP applicant's professional license was placed on probation by their state board during the application review period, what outcome is most likely?

    Answer: The application may be denied because the license is no longer unrestricted

    NCCHC requires an unrestricted license; a probationary status restricts the license and can disqualify the applicant.

  6. A nurse practitioner who works as an administrator of a correctional health program but no longer provides direct patient care—does this experience count toward CCHP eligibility?

    Answer: Yes, administrative roles in correctional health count as qualifying experience

    NCCHC accepts correctional health experience in clinical, administrative, or supervisory roles, not solely direct patient care.

  7. How many examination windows per year does NCCHC typically offer for the CCHP exam?

    Answer: Two windows per year

    NCCHC generally offers two examination windows annually, commonly in spring and fall.
