As part of the transition to the new CE provider, the Postgraduate Institute of Medicine, registrants who take enduring (non-live) training activities will be required to pass a CE test at the end of the activity. Currently affected courses include on-demand eLearning (Patient Safety Reporting System v1.1 e-Learning Course and Patient Safety Reporting: Intermediate Course) and Focused Reviews. Until this requirement is resolved and processes established for this new requirement, those courses will be ineligible for CE credit. Certificates of completion (non-CE credit) will still be available for registrants who complete those activities. Please stay tuned for further updates on this matter. |
