Professional Credit for National HIV Curriculum Self-Study Lessons and Question Bank Topics
The yellow Continuing Education box on the overview page of a lesson or a Question Bank topic will specify the 3-year CE accreditation period and the amount and type of CE available. 1.0 CE means someone can complete the activity within one hour. The Continuing Education box also includes and tracks the steps needed to acquire CE for each activity. Any step which is shaded and has a check mark is completed. To print/claim CE:
- Register or sign in to the site;
- Read the self-study lesson or Question Bank topic;
- Correctly answer 80% of the questions on a lesson’s CE quiz or 80% of the questions within a Question Bank topic;
- Complete and submit the survey; and
- Print the CE certificate.
Print/claim earned CE at any time either as a paper copy or save as a PDF. On the individualized progress tracker for a module, click the yellow box with a printer icon: “CNE Certificate” or “CME Certificate” above the table. On the Question Bank progress tracker, click the yellow box with a printer icon in the upper right.
In the final three months of a 3-year CE accreditation cycle, we strongly recommend printing earned CE before the launch of the next edition. Once the new reaccredited edition is launched, any unfinished work (for which a CE certificate has not been printed/claimed) from the previous edition will disappear.
