Well, definitely join NAHQ! Then join your local association.
The California association has a great review course on quality concepts and management. It's a great way to network and learn and perhaps study for your CPHQ.
If your hospital is really interested in this position and CQI, they will pay for this course and travel:

There are other course out there, but I've heard great things about this particular course.
Good luck and Congratulations!!!
