ASCP has a booklet for the Certification Maintenance Program (CMP) that lists types of CE, how many hours each, and through what agencies. http://ascp.org/pdf/CMPBooklet.aspx If that doesn't work, go to www.ascp.org --> Laboratory Professional --> CMP --> #1 Booklet. Look at pages 6-8.
It does list NSH. But certificates from state society meetings can also be used. In-services at your lab can also be used, just have to document - title, presenter, date, amount of time, name of institution, have it signed by someone in charge. Sign in sheets with this information could be used, if you don't want to make certificates for each in-service. Teleconferences count, as do sending in the tests from the articles in magazines/journals such as MLO, Advance or Journal of Histotechnology. Just a little plug for NSH Teleconferences - $125 for each session, and you can have as many people attend and get CEU for each. About 2 months after the teleconference, you get a CD of the handouts, PowerPoint and speaker, with a test for the teleconference you signed up for. You can use this up to 2 years later, and people can still earn CEU (for those people on vacation, had to stay back in the lab to work, you hired 6 months later.) NSH Teleconferences are 4th Wednesday of the month, 1-2 pm Eastern time, for 1 hour-ish. The next presentations are Troubleshooting IHC, Staining of Pigments and Minerals, and Role of IHC in Lymphomas. http://www.nsh.org/TC/2009TCbrochure.pdf If that doesn't work, go to www.nsh.org --> Meetings/Events --> NSH Events --> 2009 Teleconference Disclaimer - I am the NSH Teleconference coordinator. No, I don't get a kickback from getting more labs to sign up for the NSH Teleconferences. Just the satisfaction of knowing that histotechs around the US, Canada, and sometimes other countries, are getting continuing education. Peggy A.

What are people doing to meet the requirements for CEUs? Is there a list of acceptable programs or methods of aquiring the required CEUs? I never had to worry about it but I now have a newly certified tech who will need them. Thanks in advance for any input.
