The American Hypertension Specialist Certification Program (formerly the ASH Hypertension Specialists Program) was formed by the American Society of Hypertension, Inc. (ASH) in 1998 in response to the growing recognition that the hypertension problem requires the coordinated effort of front-line health care providers and those physicians with documented expertise in managing hypertension. The American Hypertension Specialist Certification Program (AHSCP) offers two certifications: Certified Hypertension Specialist (CHS) and Certified Hypertension Clinician (CHC).

 

AHSCP Examinations are resuming in June 2023. Please see the handbooks below for more information.
