Continuing Education Credits (CEs)

Click here for CEs from the May 2023 Convention. 

If you are interested in receiving CEs at the convention, you need to scan in AND out of each session that you attend.  The scanner creates a date and time record of your arrival and departure of each session.  Therefore it is very important you arrive on time and attend the entire session to get your credits.  Any late arrival and early departure will reduce any credit you could receive.  If you are interested in receiving CEs, you need to scan in AND out of each session that you attend.  OHCA is required to verifiy credit eligibility based on the attendance data collected onsite and successful completion of the session and overall convention evaluation. To obtain credit, you must be present for the full duration of a session, including any Q&A. Partial credit cannot be awarded.

Scanners will be located inside the session room.  Your name badge will have a bar code on it that you will scan.  How does it work?  It’s Simple - Scan the bar code, Your Name will Appear, You will hear a Beep, That’s it.  Be sure to scan in and out!
