Supervisors, managers, and directors carry the profession. Two institutions exist specifically for you - and this page's only job is to route you to them.
The National Association of Healthcare Transport Management is the professional association for hospital-based transport leaders: the annual conference, peer forum, knowledge base, SOP library, webinars, and National Transport Week. If you lead transport, this is your professional home.
The instructor credential lets you train and certify CHTs in-house - raising your department's standard while building your own leadership résumé. Next live virtual cohort: December 8-9, 2026.
CHTS and CHTD are planned leadership pathways for transport supervisors and directors. They are not currently open for enrollment; confirmed program details will be published when available.
When the problem is bigger than training - throughput, staffing models, department redesign - Ruck-Shockey Associates works with hospital operations and support services leadership.

The Certified Patient Transport Management Professional is in active development: a proctored, competency-based exam for supervisors, managers, and directors, with eligibility, fees, and launch dates still being finalized.
Join the association. Credential your instructors. Certify your team.
