If your five-year continuing education cycle ends on December 31, 2023, it’s not too early to start earning the credits you need.

While five years is a long time, it can sneak up on you. It’s a good idea to make a game plan now for earning credits well in advance. In fact, consider completing your credit requirements before December 1 so you can rest assured there won’t be a lapse in your credential. Not meeting your CE requirements before the deadline will not only result in suspension but require you to earn any deficient credits plus penalty credits within the following calendar year.

Need help earning CEUs? Visit our Find CEUs page any time and select your credential type to find preapproved Category I credits. You can also report activities and courses that have not been preapproved by ABC for Category II credits. Some examples include teaching or presenting, taking college courses or allied health and medical seminars, attending hospital teaching clinics and participating in humanitarian work.
