CHCIO International
Due to recent demand from the ever growing CHIME International membership, CHIME has created an international version of the popular CHIME Certified Healthcare CIO (CHCIO) program. This is the first certification program exclusively for CIOs and IT executives in the healthcare industry. A CHCIO demonstrates the commitment, knowledge and experience required to master the core skills inherent to successful healthcare CIOs and IT executives.
Distinguish yourself from your peers
Becoming a CHCIO makes it easy for you to distinguish yourself as a leader within the healthcare IT industry. The CHCIO program is the first healthcare industry credential developed for CIOs by CIOs.

Around the World
CHIME’s faculty of CIO thought leaders traveled to Australia, Singapore, India, the U.K and Ireland in 2017 to conduct customized CHIME Healthcare IT Leadership Academies and boot camps or present sessions with partner organizations.
An Exchange of Best Practices
The programs allowed CHIME leaders to share best practices and their experiences as prominent CIOs in the U.S.; but the events also offered an opportunity to learn novel solutions to healthcare IT challenges from their host CIOs that could benefit fellow members in the States.
