American College Of Healthcare Trustees

american-211x300The American College of Healthcare Trustees brings significant value to our physician members who are the most dedicated and highly educated people in healthcare. Physicians and surgeons have long been the patient’s best advocate yet in recent decades physicians and surgeons have been marginalized. The American College of Healthcare Trustees provides resources to support physicians and surgeons and provide the tools required to exert authority, power, and influence at the highest levers of decision-making.

The American College of Healthcare Trustees uses the terms Member and Fellow synonymously and provides a platform to earn blue, brown, and black belts in the various curriculum categories as well as the designations of Fellow with Special Merit, FACHT(SM) and Fellow with Distinction, FACHT(D).

The American College of Healthcare Trustees treats its fellows with great respect. In contradistinction to other organizations, some of which have made continuing education a cottage industry, The American College of Healthcare Trustees does NOT require our Fellows to take OUR courses or attend OUR conferences to earn credit toward belts and distinctions, although one can do so, hour for hour. Fellows can claim credit for committee service in their hospital or at their practice, for reading or writing in journals, blogs, or any relevant medium such as watching videos or listening to podcasts or even exerting leadership at the local PTA or city council.

Come join us to teach, to network, to grow. Come to our next conference to rejuvenate, to network, to make your opinions heard.
