Description

Market your knowledge of working in a health care environment.  

The ASHE Health Care Construction (HCC) shows that you have been trained to work in the health care construction environment, and can help you position yourself as a desirable candidate for health care construction jobs.  

Completely updated to include the latest ruling from CMS, the HCC Workshop combines an e‐learning course and a two‐day seminar. The program offers education with a comprehensive risk management approach to critical topics in health care construction, including: the health care planning, design, and construction process; Life Safety Code® compliance; construction risk assessment (including general risks and a special focus on infection risks); mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems (MEP); medical gas systems; medical technology; and project expectations.  

You will gain an understanding of the latest compliance issues in health care construction, and learn what owners, staff, and patients expect of constructors working in the health care environment.
