HealthCall’s program is available to students in graduate or certificate programs for Behavior Analysis who are seeking either a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) or Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) Certification.

The program also includes completion of HealthCall’s Registered Behavior Analysis course sequence, at no cost.
