CLLP Certification
CLLP Certification represents the formal recognition of a leader who has demonstrated validated command of the specialized body of knowledge required to guide Long-Term Acute Care Hospitals with excellence. The credential is accompanied by secure digital badges that provide instant, portable verification of your achievement. These badges signal to peers, employers, and surveyors that you are a certified LTACH-specific leader. They confirm you command a validated, discipline-focused body of knowledge and demonstrate the professional rigor expected of those entrusted with the nation's most complex hospital environments.
CLLP-Associate
The entry point into the CLLP credentialing pathway for emerging LTACH leaders. Validates foundational competency across the core CLLP domains — clinical operations, regulatory fundamentals, and people management essentials — establishing a documented baseline for continued advancement.
CLLP — Certified LTACH Leadership Professional
The flagship credential and professional standard for active LTACH leaders with formal operational accountability. Demonstrates comprehensive mastery across all eight CLLP competency domains — clinical, regulatory, financial, operational, human capital, and technology.
CLLP-Senior
The highest designation in the CLLP pathway, reserved for LTACH executives with sustained, demonstrated command across the full leadership lifecycle. Signals to boards and health systems that a leader has been intentionally built — not merely credentialed — for the demands of the LTACH environment.
Maintaining Your Credential
All LTACH Leadership Institute credentials require annual continuing education attestation and three-year renewal. Credential holders must maintain active engagement with the LTACH field and document ongoing professional development across the CLLP competency domains. Renewal ensures the credential reflects current operational, regulatory, and clinical realities.
