Continuing Education Credit
NEW! Continuing Education System
PANPHA will be using a NEW bar code continuing education credit system. The PANPHA conference badge serves as both your name badge and your personal CE card and will be provided with your registration materials.
Your conference badge contains a bar code encoded with all the registration and licensure information you provide on your registration form. At the end of each concurrent session and/or general session, simply scan your barcode with the bar code readers provided by PANPHA staff monitors in order to receive credit for the session.
A certificate of attendance will be mailed to you four weeks after the conference.

Human Resources Professionals
PANPHA is not able to offer SHRM/HRCI pre-approved continuing education credits for HR professionals because provider status for pre-approved programs are only granted to national organizations. Human Resources professionals attending the 2009 PANPHA Annual Conference seeking recertification credits are advised to consult the HRCI 2009 Handbooks (www.hrci.org) regarding the self-submit process.
Certified Aging Services Professional (CASP) formerly Retirement Housing Professional (RHP)
Retirement housing professionals may use continuing education credits from this meeting toward recertification renewal.
Continuing Education Credit Policy
When offering CE credit, PANPHA must abide by the rules and regulations of all applicable professional accrediting boards and agencies. As such:
PANPHA cannot provide CE credit to attendees who arrive late or leave the session early. We ask that attendees use their bar-coded conference badge only when the session has ended.
PANPHA cannot provide partial credit for concurrent sessions, as attendees must be present for the entire duration of the session to receive full credit.
Please Note: Both the Q&A and interactive components of a session are considered part of credit hour count—attendees who leave during these segments cannot be granted credit for the session.
