HEC-C Review Course

Developed and presented by ASBH HEC-C Review Course Task Force members, this course will provide a thorough review of the core references and four content domains through the use of sample questions and discussion about the examination content outline. The course will be highly interactive, with opportunities for attendees to test their knowledge and connect information with the content outline and core references as a review framework. The 3.5-hour session will include discussion and practice test questions for each of the following:  

  • Healthcare Ethics Issues and Concepts: Big Picture
  • Healthcare Ethics Issues and Concepts: Clinical Encounters 
  • Healthcare Systems and Health Law
  • Clinical Context
  • Local Healthcare Organizations and Policies 

Each attendee will receive a HEC-C Study Guide featuring an extended analysis of the sample questions following the session. The next available course will take place in-person at the 2024 Annual Conference on Wednesday, September 18 at 2 - 5:30 PM Central. You can register for the course via the conference registration process or call Member Services at 847.375.4745 to add the workshop to your existing registration package.

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.
