All of our CME courses are designated for category 1 credit and are designed to meet the Minnesota Board of Nursing requirements. It is the responsibility of each participant to determine if the program meets the criteria for licensure or recertification for their discipline. Each participant will receive a certificate of attendance.

We do offer reduced tuition rates to students who are not requesting CME credit. The fee includes the cost of food and beverage and the cost of the course syllabus. The costs are as follows: one-day conference $50; two-day conference $75; three-day conference $100.

You must complete the CME Verification Form provided when you attend the activity that states the number of hours you intend to claim. Your CME certificate will be mailed within four to six weeks after we have received your signed CME Verification Form in our office.
