No. The CHWTP certification teaches everything from the ground up — industry knowledge, hospital accreditation, patient management, ethics, and coordination. People from travel, nursing, business, and entrepreneurial backgrounds all start from the same foundational modules. The only prerequisite is a genuine commitment to helping patients access care abroad.

The CHWTP certification is currently $199 for the founding cohort (standard price: $499). This is your only upfront cost. There are no additional platform fees, subscription charges, or hidden costs. When you pass, you receive full access to 350+ hospitals, the RPS platform, a dedicated RPM, and all marketing materials — included in the certification fee.

Most new partners who actively work with their RPM complete their first successful referral within 30–60 days of passing the certification. The timeline depends on your market, your network, and how actively you pursue patient referrals. Your RPM will help you identify the best corridors and hospitals for your first cases.

Yes — many facilitators start part-time while maintaining their current income. The CHWTP course is self-paced (most complete it in 4–8 weeks at 5–7 hours per week). After certification, you can manage referrals around your existing schedule. As your volume grows, many partners transition to full-time facilitation.

Yes. Many partners run medical tourism facilitation as a service within their existing business — travel agencies, healthcare consultancies, wellness practices, and insurance brokerages. My 1Health operates as your back-office infrastructure. Patients see your brand, not ours. You can offer healthcare travel coordination as a premium add-on to your current services without setting up a separate entity.

Absolutely. Many of our partners operate in destination countries, coordinating both inbound international patients arriving for treatment and outbound referrals to other destinations. If you're based in India, for example, you can help international patients access hospitals in your city while also referring Indian patients to facilities in Turkey, Thailand, or the UAE. Your local hospital knowledge and language skills are significant advantages.

My 1Health pays commissions to 160+ countries in USD or your choice of 140+ local currencies. You also get a built-in USD wallet where you can hold your earnings and withdraw whenever you choose, with a minimum withdrawal of $250. Commissions are reconciled monthly with full transparency through the RPS platform.

All hospitals in the My 1Health network carry professional indemnity insurance, and the network is composed of JCI, NABH, and TEMOS-accredited facilities. If a clinical complication arises, My 1Health provides case escalation support — working directly with the hospital on your behalf. You are never left to manage a clinical issue alone. Your RPM is your first point of contact for any case escalation.

The CHWTP programme is currently delivered in English. Arabic and French localisation are planned for later this year, with additional languages to follow based on partner demand. If English is not your first language, many of our partners complete the programme successfully — the content is written in clear, accessible English and your RPM can provide support in your preferred language during onboarding and case management.

If you're already operating with your own hospital relationships and patient base, our Established Facilitators pathway may be a better fit — no certification required, flexible terms, and a different onboarding process designed for experienced operators.
