Continuing Education Credit ($300-350)
Courses that have the CE logo on the image have a designated number of certified continuing education credits associated with the course. These courses have a fee, and upon completion, the learner will receive a certificate with their designated credits which can be used for re-licensure. The continuing education credits available are physician credits ($350), nursing credits ($300) and trainee/student credits ($300). This includes MOC Part II.
