AFHCAN is pleased to announce that our training program has been accredited by the American Telemedicine Association (ATA).

The purpose of ATA accreditation is to protect the integrity and effectiveness of telehealth training programs, as well as encourage continuous quality improvement in telemedicine/telehealth training and education. The accreditation process is a rigorous assessment of a program’s ability to design and implement a professional training program. The goals of the accreditation process are to ensure telemedicine/telehealth training programs in the United States and other countries meet acceptable standards of quality in terms of content, methods, and resources and to provide formal recognition of training programs that meet these standards. Accredited training programs are allowed to include the ATA logo on their website and marketing materials.

Only the fourth organization in the nation to receive ATA accreditation of its training program, AFHCAN offers a variety of training, from a one-hour class on using the AFHCAN web client to an assortment of multi-day workshops. This fall we are offering a new course for AFHCAN Clinical Administrators, focused on reporting, data analysis and designing custom forms.

In addition to our AFHCAN courses, we have partnered with the University of Alaska to develop and teach three college courses on telehealth.

Intended as a workforce development initiative, completing the first two courses will result in certification as a Telehealth Coordinator, while completing all three courses will result in certification as a Telehealth Program Manager.
