CertOcean's AMIA Health Informatics Certification (ACHIP) training is a live, instructor-led online course. You learn in 15 live sessions (30 hours in total) with an expert instructor and work through 9 curriculum modules.
The AMIA Health Informatics Certification (AHIC) exam is a 150-question, four-hour exam that experienced health informatics professionals take to earn the ACHIP credential, and this course prepares you for it with a live trainer. It works as a health informatics certification course for both clinical and non-clinical learners. You cover the core areas of informatics practice, from foundations and clinical decision support to health information systems, data standards, analytics, privacy and leadership. Each session ties concepts to real informatics work and ends with exam-style practice questions.
ACHIP shows that you have the knowledge of an experienced health informatics professional. It suits people in health IT, EHR, data and informatics roles, such as clinical informaticist, health informatics analyst, EHR analyst, health data manager and informatics project lead. If you want clinical informatics training with a clear exam goal, this course follows the official AHIC Outline of Exam Topics.
CertOcean's AHIC course is a live, instructor-led online program for ACHIP exam prep. A trainer walks you through the core areas of health informatics practice, shows how they apply in real work, and gives you practice questions and mock exams. The course also explains the AHIC eligibility tracks so you can check where you fit before you apply.
The AHIC exam is the health informatics certification exam that leads to the ACHIP credential, with 150 three-option multiple-choice questions in four hours. Every question is scored and there is no penalty for wrong answers. You need a scaled score of 600 or higher on a 0 to 800 scale, and the exam is based on the official AHIC Outline of Exam Topics.
The AHIC course takes 30 hours of live training across 15 sessions. Plan extra study time between sessions to review readings and work through practice questions, especially in areas outside your daily role.
AHIC training strengthens your grasp of how informatics improves care, how health information systems are chosen and run, how data standards support exchange, and how health data is governed and analyzed. You also build skills in privacy, security, project leadership and change management, which help you take on larger informatics responsibilities.

The AMIA Health Informatics Certification is for experienced health informatics professionals from clinical and non-clinical backgrounds who work in health IT, EHR, data and informatics roles. Non-US residents can apply, so learners in Canada and the UK are welcome. The course has no prerequisites, but you must meet one of the eligibility tracks to sit the exam.
The AHIC exam requires a degree plus health informatics work experience, under three tracks. Track 1, health informatics master's or doctorate: 4 of the last 6 years at 50 to 100% informatics time, or 6 of 8 at 20 to 49%. Track 2, related master's or doctorate: 6 of 8 or 8 of 10 years. Track 3, health informatics or related bachelor's: 8 of 10 or 10 of 12 years.
The AHIC exam is demanding because it is aimed at experienced professionals and covers a wide range of informatics practice, so areas outside your daily role need the most study. You answer 150 three-option questions in four hours and need a scaled score of 600 or higher on a 0 to 800 scale. All questions are scored with no negative marking, so answer every one.
To prepare for the AHIC exam, confirm your eligibility track, then use the official AHIC Outline of Exam Topics to find your weak areas. Study those areas first and practice with timed three-option questions to build pace for 150 questions in four hours. This course follows that plan, with live sessions on each core area and mock exams at the end.
You apply for the AHIC exam with the exam provider first; review takes 10 to 15 business days, with no deadlines. Once approved, you get an Authorization to Test valid for 180 days, your eligibility lasts 2 years, and you book with Pearson VUE, which lists test centers in the US and abroad plus OnVUE online. Fees are $996 for members, $1,322 for non-members, and $503 for a retake.
The ACHIP credential is valid for 4 years. To renew, you either earn 60 Professional Development Units and show active practice, with a fee of $499 for members or $699 for non-members, or you pass the exam again in the last 12 months of your cycle.
