The Pulmonary Hypertension Certificate program, designed for advanced practice providers and allied health professionals, equips health care professionals with specialized training to recognize early symptoms and provide accurate diagnosis, treatment and management of pulmonary hypertension in adult and pediatric populations using evidence-based practices.
The curriculum covers diagnostic techniques, treatment strategies, risk assessment and patient-centered care. Participants will gain experience with diagnostic tools such as right heart catheterization, echocardiography and advanced imaging techniques, as well as managing prostacyclin-based therapies. Participants will earn a certificate of completion demonstrating specialized knowledge in PH care.
This six-month program offers a structured, flexible learning experience, blending live virtual meetings with self-paced coursework and mentoring opportunities to support professional growth. Key program features include:
- Live virtual classes: Held 1-2 times a month via Zoom on Wednesdays from 7–8:30 p.m. ET. Recordings will be available for those unable to attend live.

Thanks to a generous donation from Gossamer Bio, PHA was able to offer a limited number of scholarships to participants in the 2025 program. Scholarships are intended for PHA members who do not receive support or reimbursements for professional development. The scholarship application includes a few questions and requires you to upload a letter of intent explaining how the program aligns with your professional development goals and what support you will receive from your employer to complete the program. Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and applications must be submitted before you register for the program.
Enrollment
Enrollment for the 2025 cohort is closed. Enrollment for the 2026 cohort will open later in 2025. Very limited spots will be available for the adult track.
If spots fill up, participants may request to join the waitlist on a first-come, first-served basis or enroll in the next available cohort. For questions or more information, contact PHACertificate@PHAssociation.org.
