ACDIS update: Virtual CEU opportunities abound

With travel restricted and in-person events postponed and cancelled, CCDS and CCDS-O holders may be on the hunt for some virtual CEU opportunities to meet the requirements for recertification. ACDIS members have access to many avenues for CEU acquisition, but there are also a number of options for non-members available on the ACDIS website.

Through your ACDIS membership, you can earn 10 CEUs per year through

• Reading the CDI Journal and taking the accompanying quiz (six editions per year, one CEU per edition)
• Listening to the ACDIS Quarterly Conference Calls and taking the accompanying surveys (four calls per year, one CEU per call)

ACDIS members can go back through the archives one year to take advantage of the CEU opportunities. If you were to take advantage of all 10 for each year of your certification period, you would have 20 of the required 30 CEUs at the time of your recertification.

On top of the CEU opportunities included with your ACDIS membership, ACDIS offers a number of free opportunities to both members and non-members alike throughout the year. For example, every September ACDIS hosts a CDI Week webinar which offers one CEU. Additionally, many of the programs offered in partnership with our sponsors offer CEUs. All these programs can be found in the “Free & Sponsored Resources” section under the “Resources” dropdown.

Additionally, ACDIS Associate Editorial Director Melissa Varnavas is hosting several virtual local chapter events for groups nationwide that will offer CEUs. Read last week’s article in CDI Strategies for more details.
