Continuing Education Our Role in Offering Continuing Education Opportunities As a local chapter of the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE), InSOPHE is designated by the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHEC) to provide continuing education contact hours (CECHs) for Certified Health Education Specialists (CHES®) and Master Certified Health Education Specialists (MCHES®). We offer CHES®/MCHES® continuing education contact hour opportunities to our members for free and to non-members for a fee. The CHES®/MCHES® designation after a health educator's name is one indication of professional competency and commitment to continued professional development. CHES®/MCHES® professionals have met academic eligibility, passed a written exam, and have an ongoing commitment to continuing education and professional development. InSOPHE is committed to promoting and encouraging all health professionals in contributing to the advancement of the health of all people and the advancement of the health education/promotion profession through research, service, leadership, education, and distribution of health promotion materials. |
