 Maintaining your CHSOS-A Certification

The CHSOS-A certification initially assumes the same expiration date as your current CHSOS® certification.  After this, each renewal is good for a three (3) year period of time.  Recertification for CHSOS-A is done through submitting evidence of ongoing Continued Professional Development (CPD).  Download the CHSOS-A Recertification Information (pdf) handbook for details. Acceptable CPD will be in education or simulation focused activities.

CPD includes a variety of activities such as (but not limited to):

  • Participation in continuing education activities including conferences, webinars, or other education events
  • Publishing journal articles, chapters, or books
  • Presenting at educational events
