I can't get time off work to attend.
Every licensed medical practitioner needs to earn continuing education credits each year. Attending an ICHM provides you the opportunity to earn CME/CEU credits while learning a new usable skill, or getting a thorough review of hyperbaric medicine. Either way, the skills and knowledge you gain from attending the ICHM are immediately applicable in the clinic setting.
The ICHM is accredited by the ACCME for physician CME credits, DPM credits through the Florida Board of Podiatric Medicine, Nursing credits through the Florida State Board of Nursing, CHT and CHRN credits through the NBDHMT, and Allied Healthcare Provider category B credits for licenses RD, CHT, CRT, RRT, RCP.
There isn't a course near me and I don't have the money to attend a course that requires me to travel.
We understand budget constraints. That's why we have designed our ICHM to be the most affordable primary course in hyperbaric medicine available on the market. We keep our course fees as low as possible - keeping travel expenses low is up to you. You choose the travel method that is most affordable for you, be it car, plane, train, or other. As for hotel costs, if the host hospital has negotiated a discounted rate with a nearby hotel we pass that savings on to you. If we have hotel recommendations, they are found in the course flyer available for download on the event calendar listing. Find all upcoming event listings here.

Can I buy just a portion of the course?
No. The ICHM is a comprehensive course; the modules in the course curriculum are designed to build knowledge and skills as the course progresses. Skipping one or more modules creates gaps in learning. This rule even applies for practitioners who want to attend the course as a review of hyperbaric medicine.
