10. When and how often do I have to be on the computer with the DVD installed?
The choice is entirely up to you! You can study anytime, anywhere. The days and times that you work on your class activity are entirely up to you. This allows you to fit your advanced education into your busy schedule, rather than attempting to fit your schedule around school. Nothing could be more convenient for you!
11. Does my English have to perfect?
No. You need competence in written English because most of the course and the assessed coursework will be in English. Your test submissions must be written in reasonable, if not perfect, English. Spanish, Japanese, French and German language courses are under construction.
12. Do I have to be online at specific times?
No. The only online activities are the Final Exam. Only after the course is completed and you receive your used ID and password for the Final Exam do you need to set aside time to take the Final Exam at your convenience.

You only need a password when you are ready for the Final Exam. Email or FAX your request for the username and password, which will be issued at once.

You pay in U.S. dollars. You can use a credit or debit card, bank transfer or check. Details of how to pay will be sent to you
15. Will there be any additional costs?
There are no additional costs for the computer based training. All course materials are included in the price.

16. When do I have to pay?
Once we have accepted you in the course you will be sent an invoice with details on how to pay. The invoice should be paid either by 30 days after receipt of invoice, or before starting the course (whichever is soonest).

22. Questions About ACCME Standards (when Accreditation is complete)
The ACCME's Mission is the identification, development, and promotion of standards for quality continuing medical education (CME) utilized by physicians in their maintenance of competence and incorporation of new knowledge to improve quality medical care for patients and their communities.
The ACCME fulfills its mission through a voluntary self-regulated system for accrediting CME providers and a peer-review process responsive to changes in medical education and the health care delivery system.
The primary responsibilities of the ACCME are to:
• Set and administer standards and criteria for providers of quality CME for physicians and related professionals.
• Certify that accredited providers are capable of meeting the requirements of the Essential Areas.
• Relate CME to medical care and the continuum of medical education.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of its policies.
• Assist providers in continually improving their programs.
• Assure physicians, the public, and the CME community that CME programs meet the ACCME's criteria for compliance with the Essential Areas.
OxyHeal University will ensure the quality of educational programs by adhering to the guidelines and standards established by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of ACCME through the joint sponsorship of the Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) and OxyHeal University. The UHMS is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians and takes responsibility for the content, quality, and scientific integrity of the Continuing Medical Education.
23. Questions about the NBDHMT Standards (when Accreditation is complete)
The NBDHMT' was formed in 1991 and introduced a certification program for all technologists working in the field as well as an "approved" introductory training course for those desiring to enter the field. It was not the intention of the NBDHMT to provide an "entry level" pathway for certification in hyperbaric technology (CHT). Certification was offered as an "added qualification." It was anticipated that this broad cross section of health care providers would include licensed registered and vocational nurses, therapists, chamber technicians, physician assistants, diving medical technicians, corpsmen, physiologists, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, life support technicians, researchers and physicians involved in the delivery of undersea, hyperbaric and aviation medicine and related research activities. The NBDHMT feels very strongly about having properly trained personnel on duty in hyperbaric medicine units and are working very hard at making sure that they have the very best trained, certified, technologists and nurses in the medical field. The NBDHMT has made some changes to their certification requirements since 1981 and these changes have been aimed at making the specialty of clinical hyperbaric medicine one of the most respected and sought after specialties in existence. The NBDHMT sets and administers standards and criteria for providers of approved diving and hyperbaric medicine courses, thus ensuring quality education for healthcare providers.
