Continuing Education Credits for Physicians, Nurses and Social Workers

Continuing Education Credits

This activity is designed for interprofessional healthcare team members (physicians, nurses and social workers) who are involved in providing care for people with eating disorders.

Physician CME: Duke University Health System Department of Clinical Education and Professional Development designates this live activity for a maximum of 12.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s). Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with  the extent of their participation in the activity.

Nurse and Social Worker CE: Duke University Health System Department of Clinical Education and Professional Development designates this activity for up to 12.0 credit hours for nurses and social workers. Nurses and social workers should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in this activity.

There is no additional fee for physicians, nurses, and social workers seeking continuing education credit for this activity.

In order to qualify for the full 12 hours, however, participants need to attend and sign in and out each day.

After the conference we will submit the sign-in sheets to Duke’s office of Clinical Education and Professional Development. This office will send participants emails with instructions about the on-line system, which can be used by both Duke employees and non-Duke employees.  Participants who do not already have an account will be given directions for how to create one. They will then fill out an online evaluation and indicate how many hours they are applying for. Once approved they will be able to download their certificate.

In support of improving patient care, the Duke University Health System Department of Clinical Education and Professional Development is accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), to provide continuing education for the health care team.
