CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT
We have applied to three organizations for continuing education credits: nurses, acupuncturists and National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP) nutritionists.
What you do if you want to receive credit for attending:
The fee for CEUs is ($65/3 days; $25/day). Each morning at the conference you must sign in at the CEU desk near registration. Before you depart the conference (not each day), you must submit the required paperwork at the CEU desk. Certificates will be emailed to you within a month of the conference.
Professions
ACUPUNCTURIST — APPROVED
We have been approved by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). Total possible credit hours for 3 days: 17.5 (Friday 6.5 hours; Saturday 6; Sunday 4.75). All states accept this approval except Florida and California.
NANP NUTRITIONIST — APPROVED
We have been approved by the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP). Total possible credit hours for 3 days: 17.5 (Friday 6.5 hours; Saturday 6; Sunday 4.75).
Other Nutritionists: Check with your board to see if a Certificate of Attendance will suffice for you to receive credit.

Please see the list below for the talks approved for credit*. (This activity has been submitted to Maryland Nurses Association for approval to award contact hours. Maryland Nurses Association is accredited as an approver of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.)
MASSAGE THERAPIST
We did not apply for approval. But you can check with your state board. Some states give credit under the NCCAOM/acupuncturists approval mentioned above. Please let us know if your state will accept it.
CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE - $5 FEE
FOR ANY PROFESSIONS BESIDES THOSE LISTED ABOVE
The Certificate of Attendance is for any profession not listed above. Check with your board to see if they will accept it. You do not sign in or submit an evaluation. We email the certificate after the conference.
RDs
Check with your board but our understanding is that according to the Commission on Dietetic Registration, CDR Credentialed Practitioners may receive up to 15 CPEUs for attending our conference. You will not need to sign in each day but will have to obtain and retain in your files a Certificate of Attendance. You will need to keep track and submit talks attended with the appropriate Learning Need Codes. If you are in Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania or Texas, you should check with your board to see if they will accept this.
