CE Information
Continuing Education (CE) credits are mandated by US states and professional organizations for members of professions as part of a license or certification renewal process. Most states require continuing education as a way to insure professionals stay current with the latest practices and research in their field.
There are a number of interchangeable terms used to mean one continuing education (CE) hour. These include CE, clock hour, contact hour, CE credit, credit hour, and others.   A contact hour consists of 50-60 minutes. A continued education credit and a contact hour are the same. One Continuing  Education Unit (CEU), consists of ten (10) contact hours/credits, we do not offer CEU.
 
The Summit for Clinical Excellence offers CE's or CEH Continuing Education hours.
