What do NAHCP’s different program hours mean?

Direct Answer

The primary difference is educational scope and depth.

The Full Answer

Within the NAHCP educational model:

2 hours — CEU Courses, providing focused learning on a specific topic.

10 hours — Healthcare Essentials™, Clinical Foundations™ and shorter Boot Camps™, providing a broader introduction or focused development across a defined subject area.

20 hours — Healthcare Simulation Labs™, providing scenario-based learning.

39 hours — Professional Development Academy™ programs and intensive Boot Camps™, providing substantially deeper professional development.

117 hours — Leadership Academy™ programs, providing extended leadership development across a much larger body of learning.

225 hours — Fellowship Academy™ pathways, the most extensive course of study in the NAHCP ecosystem.

More hours do not automatically mean a program is “better.” The right level depends on what you’re trying to learn and accomplish.
