To obtain CE credit for this activity, attendees must listen to the education recording, complete an online knowledge assessment for each education recording and achieve a score of 100%, and complete an online activity evaluation. All CE credit must be claimed prior to the expiration date.

Note: successfully completing the posttest is required for nurses, pharmacists, and physicians, not dietitians. Dietitians may claim credit for viewing/listening to the recording per CDR guidelines. This program is approved for RDs, RDNs and DTRs under Activity Type 175 in accordance with CDR guidelines.

Pharmacists must provide their NABP e-PID and birthday (MMDD) when claiming credit to enable ASPEN to upload credit claimed to the CPE monitor. Failure to provide accurate information by the expiration date for claiming CE credit can result in an inability for the earned credit to be uploaded to the CPE monitor and thus not appear in the pharmacist’s NABP profile.
