Science Versus Business Credits

Science or clinical credits are awarded to activities that specifically relate to the certifications offered by ABC and general patient care.

Please only select the relevant discipline for your course. For example, if your course pertains to prosthetic devices, only select prosthetists as the audience for your course. We will review the information and confirm the accuracy of Scope of Practice determinations in your confirmation email.

Business credits are awarded to activities designed to improve various aspects of facility/office management such as courses that explain insurance or government policies, compliance regulations and professional development.

Please note that to be approved for Category I Science credit for a specific discipline, the course/ meeting must have at least 50% content specifically related to that discipline. For those ABC certified individuals who are not credentialed in the approved discipline, Category II credits will be awarded.
