CCHP: Certified Correctional Health Professional
Becoming a Certified Correctional Health Professional is the next step in your professional advancement. The CCHP credential shows your mastery of NCCHC standards and your ability to apply them to support the quality of patient care. It’s a signal to the field that you are committed to correctional health care as a career. You’ll gain credibility with colleagues with this tangible evidence of your expertise.
The full-day preconference seminars on November 1 will cover the updated 2026 Standards (due to be published in August 2025).
