PMP exam prep built around healthcare.
35 contact hours of PMP-aligned curriculum, with every case study, scenario, and example drawn from healthcare projects — EHR rollouts, HIPAA programs, value-based care contracts, Joint Commission timelines. Same exam, same blueprint. Healthcare context throughout.
Three healthcare PMs. Same prep, different motivations.
PMP-HC works for healthcare workers entering project management, established PMs moving into healthcare, and seasoned healthcare PMs prepping for the exam. The curriculum is the same; the way they consume it differs.
Healthcare worker → PM
Nurse manager, quality lead, RCM director moving into PM role.
You already lead complex projects but don't have the credential. PMP signals to leadership that you can run capital projects, EHR rollouts, ACO launches. The healthcare context here means you don't have to imagine construction or IT examples.
PM moving into healthcare
IT, construction, or manufacturing PM with PMP credential.
You already hold PMP. You're moving into a healthcare PM role and need to learn the domain fast. PMP-HC isn't a credential play for you — it's a quick orientation to how PMP concepts apply in healthcare contexts. Most useful for the 22 case studies.
Seasoned healthcare PM
Years of healthcare PM experience, no PMP yet.
You've been running projects in healthcare for years. PMP feels overdue but the generic prep content doesn't resonate with your day-to-day. PMP-HC speaks your language and builds on what you already know rather than starting from scratch.
Aligned to PMI's published exam outline.
PMI publishes the PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO) with three domains and their relative weight on the exam. Our curriculum allocates contact hours proportionally — and every section pulls case studies from healthcare projects.

Already a PMP? Earn PDUs while you specialize.
PMI requires 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) every 3 years to maintain your PMP. Our courses qualify as "Education PDUs" under PMI's framework. 1 contact hour of qualifying instruction = 1 PDU.
How Coral Plus content maps to PMI PDUs
IACET CEUs and PMI PDUs use the same underlying unit: contact hours. Here's the practical math.
| Coral Plus content | Contact hours | IACET CEUs | PMI PDUs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60-min webinar | 1 | 0.10 | 1 |
| 90-min webinar | 1.5 | 0.15 | 1.5 |
| 3-hour course | 3 | 0.30 | 3 |
| PMP-HC test prep | 35 | 3.5 | 35 |
| HPMI Pathway (Levels I–II) | 60 | 6 | 60 |
| HPMI Full Pathway (all 4 levels) | 120 | 12 | 120 |
| PMP renewal cycle requires: | — | — | 60 every 3 years |
What this means in practice: A single HPMI Levels I-II bundle satisfies your entire 3-year PMP recertification PDU requirement. The full HPMI pathway covers two recertification cycles. Combine PMP-HC test prep + ongoing HPMI courses and your PDU paperwork is permanent on your Coral MED transcript — exportable to PMI in the format they require.
Pass the PMP. Then specialize in healthcare.
After PMP-HC, the natural next step is the Coral MED Healthcare PM Certification — built on the HPMI pathway. PMP gives you the general credential. HPMI gives you the healthcare specialization. Together: differentiated credentials for senior healthcare PM roles.
