How to Recertify

To renew your ACHPN® credential, you must complete the Hospice and Palliative Accrual for Recertification (HPAR) and the Situational Judgment Exercise (SJE). The SJE is a series of case-based scenarios to test critical reasoning and clinical application of content beyond the level of the initial certification exam.

During your recertification, all courses completed through the HPNA Learning Center and the Pediatric Pain Basics modules will automatically sync with your Learning Plan. Courses outside of HPNA will need to be entered into your Learning Plan. As you add activities to your learning plan, there is an option to upload a certificate for each activity. This is optional and NOT required. Only individuals selected for an audit will be required to upload a certificate for each activity.

Your HPCC credential may only be used during your four-year certification period. If you do not recertify, you must stop using the credential immediately. This includes but is not limited to your email signature, on your lab coat, employment badge, or social media profiles. HPCC conducts periodic reviews for any misuse of its credentials. If fraudulent use is found, you will be notified, and immediate action will be required.
