CRM Program Overview

The Cancer Registry Management (CRM) program is designed for those interested in entering the cancer registry profession. Cancer Registrars possess the clinical and technical knowledge and skills necessary to maintain components of the disease-related data collection systems consistent with medical, administrative, ethical, legal, and accreditation requirements of the health care delivery system. In all types of facilities, and in various locations within a facility, cancer registrars manage and analyze clinical cancer information for the purpose of processing, maintaining, compiling and reporting health information for research, quality management/improvement, facility planning and marketing, monitoring patient outcomes, cancer program development, cancer prevention and surveillance, survival data, compliance of reporting standards, evaluation of the results of treatment, and national accreditation standards.

Upon completion of the program, the graduate will be able to:

• Accurately abstract health information into a cancer registry to allow for uniform data collection
• Manage an effective cancer registry program at either a local, state or national level
• Produce cancer related information to assist healthcare providers in patient care and research
• Provide information for cancer prevention activities

The full program consists of four (4) prerequisite courses and six (6) specialty courses:

If your questions are not addressed here, review the  Frequently Asked Questions for this program.
STEP 2 Complete the CRM Prerequisite Form	ALL prospective students in the CRM program must complete a  CRM Prerequisite Form online. This form provides AHIMA with important information on how you previously completed the program prerequisites or how you plan to complete them. Submitting this form also establishes your record in our CRM Prerequisite Database, where we match incoming transcripts and track prerequisite completions. You need to complete this form only once, after which you will receive an e-mail confirmation with additional details and instructions. This form is submitted at no cost or further obligation.
STEP 3 Send official transcripts	If you previously completed some or all of your prerequisites at the college level with grades of "C" or better, then you should contact the school(s) to arrange to have official transcripts sent directly to AHIMA. Specific instructions and our mailing address for transcripts will be sent to you via e-mail immediately after you complete the  CRM Prerequisite Form (see Step 2 above).
STEP 4 Register for outstanding prerequisites	If you have not completed all four prerequisites at the college level with grades of "C" or better, you may start our CRM program by registering for the prerequisites. See "Registration Options" below.

Prerequisites

The four prerequisite courses (Anatomy and Physiology and the Prerequisite Cluster, above) must be completed prior to taking any of the specialty courses. Students may submit transcripts if they have taken the prerequisite courses elsewhere.

• Submit the CRM Prerequisite Form
  All prospective students must complete the  CRM Prerequisite Form before registering for any courses in this program.
• Transcripts
  Prerequisites may be completed either through this program or a post-secondary academic institution. Students will be required to send proof of prior prerequisite completions to AHIMA. After students submit the online CRM Prerequisite Form, they will receive the mailing address for sending transcripts to AHIMA.
• RHIAs and RHITs do not need to send transcripts
  RHIAs and RHITs have already satisfied the prerequisites for the CRM program, and will not need to submit transcripts. They must, however, submit the  CRM Prerequisite Form. After submitting the form, RHIAs and RHITs may register online for the specialty courses immediately, AND may request course activation, without awaiting prerequisite verification.
• Prerequisite verification
  We will send an e-mail to each prospective CRM student after we receive official transcript(s), containing the status of prerequisites and eligibility to begin the specialty courses. Note that RHIAs and RHITs do not need to await this e-mail verification, but may register and activate courses immediately after submitting the prerequisite form.
