The FAHQ Professional Development Team is announcing our 2026 Fall CPHQ Prep Virtual Study Group. We are increasing the sessions from six to seven to provide more time to present content. Sessions will start on Tuesday, September 15 and end on Friday, October 30. Content sessions are each Tuesday and Open Office Hours with Practice Questions are each Friday. Both sessions are from 12:00 – 1:00 PM EDT.
DOWNLOAD 2026 FALL SCHEDULE HERE.
Sessions will be presented by CPHQ-certified FAHQ members and other Subject Matter Experts. In addition to presenting and discussing content, the Study Group will provide information on effective test taking, how to identify areas where you need additional resources, and other important preparation strategies. Please note this is not a full CPHQ Prep Course but will provide resources and strategies to assist in your preparations. Each week will also have an Open Office Hour on Friday to review practice test questions and give our attendees an opportunity to ask additional questions and share their prep strategies.
If you want to learn more about the study group, join us for the Fall 2026 CPHQ Virtual Study Group Information Session on Tuesday, July 14 at noon.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED. If you are a FAHQ member and a current CPHQ and want to participate in future Study Groups as a presenter or Subject Matter Expert, let us know. Participation is welcomed for the full Study Group schedule or for individual content areas of interest to you. We have identified our team for the 2026 Fall Study Group, but if you want to see what we are doing for these CPHQ candidates or participate in individual mentoring for the exam, reach out to CPHQteam@fahq.org.
FAHQ’s participation in the Healthcare Quality Collective (HQC) provides FAHQ members access to state and regional CPHQ Prep courses at HQC association member rates.
The National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) no longer licenses review course content to state quality associations, so FAHQ cannot directly offer a course to our membership. However, NAHQ does have a wide variety of options for participating in one of their courses and accessing other NAHQ products to aid in your preparation.
NAHQ Instructor-led Virtual Review Courses are scheduled for:
See NAHQ CPHQ Prep Products for other prep options.
FAHQ offers mentoring by a currently certified CPHQ to assist our members in their preparation for the examination. The mentor/mentee relationship is established after an initial assessment of the FAHQ member’s study needs. If you are already in a study group at your workplace or virtually, FAHQ will consider assigning a mentor to the group.
Please review the Mentorship Guidelines and Mentoring Agreement and for a better understanding of requirements. Then contact the FAHQ Professional Development Team to request a mentor for CPHQ Prep.
Contact FAHQ CPHQ Team for questions, additional information, or to suggest other ways your association can help our members in preparing for the certification exam. Want to be a mentor? Let us know at CPHQteam@fahq.org.
