As part of your ongoing professional development, all ND registrants must fulfill Continuing Education (CE) requirements to maintain their certifications and ensure excellence in practice. Here’s everything you need to know about Category E – Certifications for the current CE period.
Current CE Period:
January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2025
All ND registrants must complete a minimum of 40 hours of continuing education within this two-year period.
Category E Requirements – Certification Specific
If you hold any certifications (excluding Prescriptive Authority), you must complete a minimum of 2 hours of Category E CE per certification
- Category E CE must be directly related to the certified area of practice, ensuring you remain up-to-date and competent in that area of practice.
What Qualifies for Category E CE Hours?
To fulfill your Category E CE requirements, you may select one of the following methods.
Please note: you cannot combine methods to satisfy a single certification requirement.
- Courses or Conferences
Attend professional development events. These courses or conferences must be directly relevant to the specified aspect of practice.
Proof of completion: Upload a certificate of course completion to ROSS.
- Supervised Practice or Practice Observation (Preceptorship)
Earn CE hours by participating in or providing supervised practice or observation in your field. This includes:
- Acting as a supervising ND/preceptor
- Participating as a supervisee/preceptee
Proof of completion: Upload a preceptorship summary to ROSS including:
