How do I access an application for prior CEU approval online?

Visit our CEU Vendor Resources page. Open the Application tab for easy access of "media specific" applications. Select an application according to the media of presentation: Live or Recorded Live, Seminars, Workshops, Courses including Post Secondary School Courses, and Audios Educational Publications and book-based Self Study Courses Online Education (curriculum that builds methodical brick upon brick, to tell a larger story) Newsletters and Magazines (comprised of numerous topics, advertisements, non-coding tidbits like surveys, interspersed with the articles; delivered via hard copy, email, or web based)

Continuing education units or CEUs are required for certified members to show they are staying current on information in their respective area(s) of certification.

How will I know what CEUs will count towards my specialty?

Events must be specifically pre-approved for CIRCC®*, CPMA®, CPCO™, CPPM®, CDEO, CDEI, and all specialty credentials, based on relevance and level of difficulty, in order to be eligible for CEUs. You can Search for CEUs to view a list of specialty approved programs. *We have contracted with only three companies that may provide training that will qualify for the 8 specific CEUs required each year (or 16 CEUs per renewal period) to maintain the CIRCC® credential. These companies are ZHealth Publishing , MedLearn Publishing , and Medical Asset Management . Although other pre-approved vendors may provide interventional radiology training, the CIRCC® CEU requirement must come from one of the above-mentioned companies.
