The Accreditation Process

Note that we go through the accreditation process twice. Once for the Live webinar and then again for the Self-Paced, Online Course. To make the presentation valid for CE credit for a year, we record the live webinar, create an assessment, and go through the accreditation process a second time. These Self-Paced, Online Courses permit more healthcare professionals to learn from your knowledge and experience and to maintain their licenses.
