Program Flexibility

CE Credit and Certificate of Successful Completion

The program is designed to allow the attendee to study at their own pace AND to achieve individually determined goals.   Those goals can vary from learning more for one’s own knowledge base and effectiveness, to completing the program and receiving a certificate of completion.   While of course there is a set schedule for the literature submission, they can be read and submitted at your own pace. 

CE certificates will be distributed following each LIVE and VIRTUAL session. There are 132 credit hours available.

The following is required in order to receive recognition for successful completion of the program:

1. Attendance of all live programs (4) (Emergencies excluded)

2. Attendance of all virtual programs (8) (Make up by attending reviews)

3. Present ONE Literature Review

4. Present TWO clinical cases

5. Participate in the Topic Presentations at L4

6. Note: Review sessions and clinical support sessions are therefore “optional”

The program is designed for optimal learning and full attendance is encouraged. The review sessions are summaries of the key sections from those who taught either the live or virtual sessions. They are not meant to substitute for live and virtual attendance. For those interested in the certificate of completion, full attendance of the virtual and live sessions is required. In the case of an emergency or illness, attendance of the review session may be considered.
