HEC-C Review Course

Healthcare ethics consultants who are considering taking or preparing to take the Healthcare Ethics Consultant-Certified (HEC-C) examination may be interested in attending the fall HEC-C Review Course, taking place at the 2023 Annual Conference in Baltimore. Organized by ASBH’s Clinical Ethics Consultation Affairs (CECA) Committee and the HEC-C Review Course Task Force, the 3.5-hour course will provide a solid foundation for those taking the examination, and it will include sample questions and discussion about the examination content outline and knowledge statements.

The session will be held in-person on Wednesday, October 11 at 2 PM ET. You can register for this preconference session during the conference registration process. If you have already registered, you can add the session onto your existing registration package by calling Member Services at 847.375.4745. 

HEC-C Practice Exam

Developed by the CECA Committee, the practice exam is designed to help candidates prepare for the HEC-C Examination. CECA Committee members used the publicly available certification examination outline and core references to develop practice questions similar in format to those that will appear on the examination.

Cover

The HEC-C Practice Exam features

  • 50 multiple choice questions, in both stand-alone and scenario-based format;
  • a diagnostic report containing each question with the correct answer, the rationale, and reference provided upon the completion of the practice exam;
  • additional recommended reading for each question; and
  • a demonstrated mapping to the HEC-C Examination Content Outline to help candidates determine content for further study.

Success on the practice test does not guarantee positive results on the certification examination. The online practice test is hosted by Scantron. Scantron is contracted to provide the HEC-C Practice examination and worked separately with the ASBH CECA Committee to develop a practice exam.
