The CE and Assessment Department is eager to collaborate with you in developing high quality, innovative, outcomes-oriented accredited continuing education activities. If you have an idea for a conference, workshop, regularly scheduled series, or an online module, go ahead and contact us—the earlier the better! When should you reach out to us?Engaging with the CE and Assessment Department at the beginning of the planning process for an activity helps to ensure that it complies with Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education and other relevant accreditation guidelines governing activity design and evaluation.We suggest allowing 2 months for a one-hour, 4 months for a one-day, and 5+ months for a multi-day activity. Online modules vary depending on the amount of interactivity desired and length. Bring us in at the idea stage to assess what timeline is needed for online development.
