"The Essentials of Healthcare Reform"

Special Incentives to Sign Up Now!
The widely anticipated new course on healthcare reform is now open for registrations, and it includes timely updates on changes in the law's implementation that continue for a full year after the course concludes.
"The advance demand for this course has been substantial," said Associate Dean and Assistant Professor of Insurance Allen C. McLellan, CASL®, ChFC®, CLU®, LUTCF, CFP®. "No topic is as important right now to financial advisors, whether they are involved in individual or group benefits. Healthcare options always factor into comprehensive benefits planning, and advisors need to know the basics of the law, the mandates, the timelines, and the terminology."
"The ongoing updates are especially critical," said McLellan. "Advisors know that implementation of this law can change rapidly. It's a moving target, and this course is designed to keep them up to date with those changes."
Special introductory incentives are available for those signing up for The Essentials of Healthcare Reform course's January session. The course is $599 with no shipping fees and no new student fee, and students successfully completing the course earn full credit toward the Chartered Healthcare Consultant™ designation.
