HIMSS Professional Certifications
Get Certified with the CAHIMS®, CPHIMS®, or CPDHTS® Designation
Planning to take the next step in your professional journey? You’ll have the opportunity to sit for your HIMSS certification exam on site at HIMSS26. On Tuesday afternoon, March 10, we’ll be offering exam administrations for the CAHIMS®, CPHIMS®, and CPDHTS®. Simply add the exam to your conference registration to secure your seat*.
If you’d like additional preparation, consider our Certification Bundle. Along with your exam seat, you’ll gain access to resources designed to set you up for success, including:
- A self-paced, on-demand prep course – Organized into modules aligned with the exam’s knowledge areas, this course includes knowledge checks throughout and is delivered in advance of the conference so you can study at your own pace.
- A 50-question self-assessment exam – Created in the same format and delivered through the same platform as the onsite exam, this practice test gives you valuable hands-on preparation.
In addition, all exam registrants—whether purchasing the bundle or not—will be invited to an exclusive 90-minute prep session just before the exam. Led by HIMSS staff + certified industry subject matter experts, this session will provide last-minute tips, best practices for test-taking, and an open Q&A to help you feel confident going in.
*Please note: All candidates must complete the full exam application. After you register, you’ll receive an email within 5–7 business days from HIMSS certification staff with instructions and the application link. At that time, you’ll also receive instructions to access your coursework and practice exam (if purchased).
If you have any questions, please contact HIMSSProfessionalDevelopment@himss.org.
