Continuing Education (CE) Statement
ABC assists you in tracking your continuing education credits by recording the credits that have been submitted on your behalf. Your statement summarizes your continuing education activity during your current five-year CE cycle. This information is accessible in your MY ABC account on the ABC website. If you maintain multiple credentials, CE statements for each credential are available in your account.
You must be current with your annual fees and in good standing to access this information.
- It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of your CE Statement and monitor your progress toward completing the required credits.
- If an omission has been made, you have two years from the course date to notify us in writing. You must include the name of the education provider, course title, date and location.
- We reserve the right to remove credits that have been awarded in error and are under no obligation to honor credits that appear on your CE Statement in error
Continuing Education Activities Report (CEAR Statement)
A CEAR statement allows you to designate a specific date range to generate a report of your continuing education credits. This could be necessary for license renewal documentation, contract applications, hospital privileges, etc.
