Top 5 Resources for AHIMA Approved Free CEUs
Continuing education is essential for healthcare professionals, particularly those in Health Information Management (HIM). The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) offers a variety of continuing education units (CEUs) to help professionals maintain their credentials. However, finding free resources for AHIMA approved CEUs can be challenging. In this article, we will explore the top five resources where you can find free CEU opportunities approved by AHIMA.
AHIMA’s Official Website
The first and most reliable resource for finding free AHIMA approved CEUs is directly from AHIMA’s official website. They regularly update their offerings, including webinars and online courses that are often available at no cost. By visiting the AHIMA website, you can access various educational materials that cater to different aspects of health information management.
Professional Associations
Many professional associations related to health information management offer free CEU opportunities as part of their member benefits or through public webinars. Organizations such as the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) often provide educational sessions that are eligible for AHIMA credits at no charge.
Online Learning Platforms
Several online learning platforms host courses specifically designed for HIM professionals seeking free CEUs. Websites like Coursera and EdX occasionally partner with accredited institutions to offer MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) that may qualify for AHIMA-approved credits once completed successfully.
Community Colleges and Schools
Community colleges and universities sometimes offer workshops or seminars open to healthcare professionals which may qualify for FREE continuing education credits licensed by the state or organizations like AHIMA itself. It’s worth checking with local institutions about upcoming events or courses that might be available at no cost.
Networking Events and Conferences
Attending networking events or conferences geared towards health information management can also provide opportunities to earn free CEUs through participating in panels, discussions, and presentations offered during these gatherings. Some organizations may offer recorded sessions post-event which are accessible even if you missed them live.
By leveraging these five resources—AHIMA’s own offerings, professional associations’ webinars, online platforms, community college events, and networking opportunities—you can enhance your knowledge without breaking the bank on continuing education costs. Stay proactive in your career development while ensuring you meet your certification requirements with these valuable tools.
