Continuing Education Credit

The 2005 HTN Annual Meeting offers professionals and practitioners the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and exchange information on best practices, latest research and new trends in adolescent reproductive health. Several types of continuing education are available to registrants. Earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs—units, contact hours or credits) valuable to specific professional disciplines. The charge for this service is $35. Attendees are responsible for signing the appropriate sign-in sheet and completing attendance forms which can be found at the registration desk. These forms must be filled out on site and late applications will not be accepted.

The following table lists the organizations HTN is plans to partner with for approval to provide CEUs/CMEs at our Annual Meeting. The information below is subject to change.

Total CEUs available to registrants vary by CE type since some types do not approve the full program and others assign a different number of credits per hour. HTN will make information available on how many credits each accrediting organization will provide as we receive it. In 2004, the average attendee could receive 25 credits.
