Our program, meeting the rigorous training requirements, is the pathway for those aspiring to become Physician Life Care Planners with the esteemed American Academy of Physician Life Care Planners ™.
Dr. Stephen Mann (2019) documented that just two certifying agencies certify physician life care planners: 1) the ICHCC and 2) the AAPLCP. Dr. Mann noted that the physician life care planners complete one of the 120-hour training programs that apply to the CLCP credential, having them learn the LCP methodology Dr. Paul Deutsch developed. After their training, the physician life care planner sits for the CLCP examination before progressing to the Certified Physical Life Care Planner credential administered by the academy.¹
There are four main membership organizations related to the field of life care planning. ²
These include the International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals (IARP), the American Association of Nurse Life Care Planners (AANLCP), the American Academy for Physican Life Care Planners, the AAPLCP, and the newest organization, the Association of Certified Life Care Planners (ACLCP). ³

"Self-directed, comprehensive program where I could learn at my own pace. I was able to pass the exam on my first attempt. " - Denise A. March 12, 2024
The online course format allowed me to learn at my own pace, which was extremely helpful given my busy schedule. The curriculum was well-structured and covered the fundamentals of Life Care Planning with an easy-to-navigate program. I passed on the first attempt.
