The Certificate of Added Qualifications in Mortality Risk Analytics (CAQ-MRA) is offered to
those who are interested in additional training in the quantification of mortality risk. It was
created in 2024 as a way to fulfill a desire for such education amongst the AAIM membership
while also providing a source of publication manuscripts for the Journal of Insurance Medicine.
In order to be admitted to the program, students must have taken and completed the Basic
Mortality Methodology Course (BMMC). There are no other restrictions - AAIM membership and
Board of Insurance Medicine Certification are not needed. If it has been a long time since the
completion of the BMMC, it may be a good idea to request and go over the updated materials.
The program consists of a set of materials - videos, readings, etc. - which are all available
online. These should be reviewed by the student at their own pace. Upon enrollment, each
student is assigned a mentor from the Mortality and Morbidity Committee who can guide them
through the program. There is an online examination which seeks to confirm the student's
understanding of the didactic materials. To pass the course and obtain the Certificate, the
student must pass the examination with a grade of 80% or higher and have their manuscript
approved for publication by the Journal of Insurance Medicine. The fee for enrollment is $500
and is not refundable after a mentor has been assigned, except in extenuating circumstances
such as illness.
If you are interested and wish to enroll, please fill out the application below.
Application:
Please fill out the following to enroll in the Certificate of Added Qualifications in Mortality Risk Analytics (CAQ-MRA). Note that the only absolute prerequisite for this course of study is to have taken and passed the Basic Mortality Methodology Course (BMMC). Although largely intended for medical directors and those who hold AAIM Board Certifications, this course can be taken by anyone who has passed the BMMC regardless of profession, title or Board certification status.
Because of the central role played by the drafting of a manuscript for publication in the Journal of Insurance Medicine, we ask that you develop an idea (or a few of them) of the subject you wish to study/analyze for that publication. This is not binding, as you may change topics, in consultation with your mentor, at any time.
The fee will be applied once accepted into the program and assigned a mentor. It is not refundable except in extenuating circumstances. Enrollment may be limited based on the availability of mentors.
