Viewing Event Session and Approved Continuing Education Credit Details
Approved Continuing Education (CE) Credits are displayed for sessions that have
been approved (accepted) for credit.
Credits that are still being evaluated for approval by an accrediting organization
are not displayed. Many accrediting agencies prohibit the advertisement of potential
credits.
Accepted CE hours show in
Green. Hover your pointer over CE hours to display a ToolTip with CE
details or other information.
Instead of hovering and reading CE detail in ToolTips, you can optionally click
Approved CE Details and view all approved CE details in a table.
Approved CE Details may show multiple rows of sessions. If the same session
appears on multiple rows, it indicates more that one type of approved continuing
education credits are available for this single session. If different session names
and IDs appear at the same start time, this indicates that you will choose later
which session to attend and will receive credits only for the sessions you attend.
Finding More Information
A More Event Details link may appear after About The Event description.
If available, this links to a website or site that gives further details about the
