CCHP Eligibility Requirements 2

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

A physician with no correctional health experience

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

60 hours

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

24 months

Answer

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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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