The American Hypertension Specialist Certification Program (formerly the ASH Hypertension Specialists Program) recognizes that the hypertension problem requires the coordinated effort of front-line health care providers and those physicians with documented expertise in managing hypertension. Through its two certifications – Certified Hypertension Specialist (CHS) for physicians and Certified Hypertension Clinician (CHC) for NPs, Nurse Specialists, Physician Assistants, Pharmacists, and Primary Care physicians – the American Hypertension Specialist Certification Program (AHSCP) demonstrates its commitment to the highest standards of hypertension patient care.
AHSCP is governed by a Board of Directors who lead the organization with their own expert skills and mastery of a defined body of knowledge in the management of clinical hypertension and related disorders.
