Maintenance of Certification

The Maintenance of Certification (MOC) is mandatory for members who have already achieved Certified Health Manager (CHM) or Certified Health Executive (CHE) certification.

The purpose of MOC is to demonstrate lifelong learning, professional excellence and a high level of competence characterised by a focus on ethics, professional development, coaching and mentoring, networking, active participation in health leadership and growing a community of interest.

MOC Conditions & Rules

Certified members, i.e., CHMs and CHEs must achieve 75 MOC Points every 3 years, with a minimum of 30 points from education events. See the table below for points options.

Points can be accrued at any time over the triennium and will be audited at the end of the triennium period.
