From self-paced and facilitated online courses to live education, our catalog offers a wide array of courses and formats to fit your needs.
Self-paced online courses offer the flexibility to learn on your time anywhere, anytime. These courses motivate learners through content delivered by industry experts and real-world examples. Facilitated online courses encourage collaboration with classmates and offer the unique opportunity for learners to gain individual feedback from faculty members in an online environment.

For physicians looking to take the next step on their leadership path, we also offer credentialing programs to support you in your journey.

The CPE designation endorses your ability to lead large groups, manage budgets, address HR challenges, and apply strategic business insights.
