Continuing Education Units - CEUs

RESNA is pleased to provide International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for registered attendees to all scientific and educational programs.

RESNA has been accredited as an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), 1760 Old Meadow Road, Suite 500, McLean, VA 22102, (703) 506-3275. 

RESNA will provide IACET CEUs for conference educational programs: 0.1 ACET CEU earned at RESNA 2013 is equivalent to 1.0 Contact Hour. 

Computing CEUs:The formula for computing CEUs includes summing all of the minutes for all educational sessions attended, dividing by 60 minutes and dividing again by 10 hours, with the fraction for the last few minutes rounded off to the nearest tenth. If resulting computation ends in less than .5, rounding down to .0 will occur. If the resulting computation ends in .5 or higher, then we will round up to the nearst whole number. 

Note: RESNA cannot provide CEUs for the following segments of the conference program: meetings, receptions, scheduled product demos and unopposed exhibit hall hours. Contact hours will be given for attendance to the product demos.
