In order to enroll in the Pennsylvania Medical Assistance Program, Community Health Workers (CHW) must be certified through an approved CHW training program. If you have CHWs looking to obtain certification, the Area Health Education Center (AHEC)Â offers Pennsylvania Certification Board-approved training programs at all regional AHEC centers.
In addition to an approved training program, AHEC also offers a CHW Apprenticeship program that gives the opportunity for uncertified CHWs to earn while they learn, and the added benefit of mentorship and the work hours required to be eligible for the certification exam.
