Continuing Education Credits & Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Points
We are pleased to offer continuing education credits and MOC points as a result of attending the Annual Assembly. In order to receive your credits or points, you will need to complete an evaluation after the Assembly has concluded.
In addition to providing valuable feedback on your experience at the Annual Assembly, the evaluation is designed to further enhance your learning through reflection. You will be asked about key take-aways from each session that you can use in your practice. You are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to reinforce your learning.
