Continuing Education Provider Portal Instructions

What types of programs are eligible for credit?
O&P state/regional/national Annual meetings, journal articles, allied health or medical
presentations are all examples of the types of programs eligible for credit.

If a course has been approved as a live event and recorded as an eLearning course, do we have to submit another application?
Yes. Each unique format/platform requires a separate application.

Once my course expires in two years, can I reapply for it to be renewed without changing the content?
Yes. Courses that are granted a two-year approval can be renewed for an additional two-year cycle without changing the content. You will be asked to attest that the course content is the same when you complete the renewal form online. After additional two cycles (a total of 6 years), the course must be updated (content and/or method of delivery) for approval for another cycle.

How is credit awarded for conferences?
As with any course, Category I credit is awarded based on the Scope of Practice for each discipline. For example, a session on prosthetics would only be applicable to CPO/CP’s as well as prosthetic technicians and assistants. It would not be Category I Science for a CO, C.Ped., CFo, etc.; however, they would earn Category II Science credits. Business courses are applicable for all disciplines. When promoting credits
awarded for a conference, please consider how many actual session hours are applicable to each discipline and clearly communicate that information to your potential attendees.
