The eleven course modules are taught by experts in their respective fields, including educators, attorneys, and risk management practitioners. The media through which the program is offered includes lectures, case studies, role playing and videos. The course focuses on clinical and administrative risks with a particular emphasis on Florida Risk Management statutes. The curriculum aligns with the Florida Society for Healthcare Risk Management (FSHRMPS) professional development framework.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Registration Fee is $995.00. If you are an alumnus of UCF, you are eligible for a discounted registration fee of $895.00.
A CEU is a Continuing Education Unit. If your profession or company requires you to pursue training and/or continued education to maintain licensure, we are able to submit earned CEUs to Florida CE Broker or issue a General CEU Certificate. You only need to elect to pay the CEU fee of $30.00, at the time of registration if you want to receive CEUs for the Online Health Care Risk Management Licensure Course.
The $995.00 registration fee does not include the course book, which can be purchased directly through the publisher at http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470300175.html.

Discontinuation of the Health Care Risk Manager Licensure Program

Several changes were made to Chapter 395, Florida Statutes during the 2018 Florida legislative session, including the repeal of the Agency's authority to license Health Care Risk Managers. The Agency will cease processing applications for a Health Care Risk Manager license effective July 1, 2018.

Hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers (ASC) must continue to have a risk management program, and they must have a qualified risk manager to oversee the program. It will be the responsibility of their governing boards to hire a risk manager based on education and experience requirements.

 
Participants must complete the 80 hour self-paced program within a 1 year period.
