ASHA 2017 Convention Program - 89

PDHs will count toward state license renewal and/or proof of
attendance.. Whether you are earning ASHA CEUs or PDHs at
Convention, you follow the same reporting procedures and
deadlines.
WHAT SESSIONS COUNT FOR CREDIT?
Any Convention session that has a 4‑digit session number
carries CE credit. Ticketed pre‑Convention education events,
such as symposia and workshops, are considered part of
Convention for continuing education purposes, and you
claim credit for them in the same way you claim for other
Convention sessions.
If there is no 4‑digit session number, the session carries no
CE credit. Activities that do not carry CE credit include:
* Opening General Session
* Awards Ceremony
* Exhibits

* Caring Square community service activities
* NSSLHA Experience sessions and NSSLHA poster presentations
HOW ARE MY CE CREDITS CALCULATED?
The number of credits you earn is determined by the
duration of the educational sessions you attend. Your total
hours are converted to PDHs or ASHA CEUs. Both PDHs and
ASHA CEUs are rounded down to the nearest half hour. So,
if you spend a total of 16 hours and 45 minutes in education
sessions, you will earn 16.5 PDHs or 1.65 ASHA CEUs.
You must attend sessions in full in order to claim credit for
them. The system will not allow you to claim credit for two
sessions that overlap in time according to the program.
See the Poster Sessions section for more information on how
Poster Session credits work.
The time equivalents of each session type are:
* Short Courses: 3 hours

* 2‑hour seminars: 2 hours
* 1‑hour seminars: 1 hour

* Flash sessions (formerly known as Technical sessions): 30
minutes
* Posters: 15 minutes

* Pre‑Convention events: Variable depending on event time
POSTER SESSIONS
To earn credit for posters, you must visit them during the
90-minute period indicated in the program when the
presenting authors are present to discuss their work. Each
poster counts for 15 minutes, even if you spend more time.
You may claim up to six posters in each 90-minute time block.
You may claim credit for posters you visit between other
education sessions, provided the visit occurs during the
90-minute period indicated in the program.

Exhibitors using one of their company's complimentary full
Convention registrations are eligible to attend sessions and
earn ASHA continuing education credit. Exhibitors using an
Exhibit Hall‑only badge are not eligible to attend sessions
or earn continuing education credit.
PRESENTING AUTHORS
As a presenting author, you may claim your Convention
session for credit, earning the same amount of credit
as a participant. In the case of poster sessions, this is 15
minutes. We are not able to award credit for the time you
spend preparing your presentation or poster.
CCC MAINTENANCE
ASHA CEUs or PDHs accrued at Convention will count
toward CCC maintenance, provided you are in your 3‑year
maintenance interval. Please note that if you were initially
certified during 2017, your CCC maintenance interval
begins on January 1, 2018.
FLORIDA AND OHIO LICENSEES AND CE BROKER
If you are licensed in Florida or Ohio, participate in the
CE Registry and have provided your license number to
ASHA, your ASHA CEUs from Convention will automatically
be reported to CE Broker. You must participate in the CE
Registry for your credit to be sent to CE Broker.
