Welcome to the IAHCSMM Online Lesson Plan Home Page!

 

IAHCSMM now has the ability to grade any of our lesson plans online for a nominal fee. And not only will grading be instantaneous, but your passing score will be immediately sent to IAHCSMM headquarters and applied toward your account.

The more lesson plans you complete online, the less paperwork you’ll have to submit with your annual dues. So whether you want to tackle all of your points at once or you want to take your time throughout the coming months, you now have an easy, convenient and FAST option to re-certify.

  • Lesson Plans can be graded online with an activation code given by IAHCSMM
  • To receive an activation code, please visit our store at www.iahcsmm.org/ecommerce/store.php

    • Aesculap sponsored CIS - Instrument Continuing Education (ICE) Lesson Plans
    • IAHCSMM sponsored CHL - Supervision Continuing Education (SCE) Lesson Plans

Make your choice below, picking the appropriate Lesson Plan for your certification. Lesson Plans are shown with most recent first. Have your copy of Communique open to the article or click on the link next to the Lesson Plan to open the article in a separate browser window.

After activating the quiz, you will be be asked to fill in your first and last name (mandatory) in addition to your IAHCSMM Membership Number and your choice of billing cycle to apply your grade.

If you fail the quiz (minimum of 70% to receive credit as a passing grade), you will need to attempt another exam grading to receive credit — please purchase either a new activation number or use one of the remaining numbers you may have purchased in a bundle package.

If you pass, you are encouraged to print the confirmation page out as your proof of a passing grade. Upon receipt of your annual dues/re-certification invoice, a listing of passed lesson plans will be deducted from the points due on the statement, and you should compare your printed confirmations to this list.
