CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS
PFA’s Annual Symposium and Exhibition offers credentialed pedorthists and other credentialed lower extremity professionals an excellent opportunity to accumulate a substantial number of continuing education credits to meet their continuing education requirements and maintain certification or licensure.
This year, the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics (ABC) has awarded the Pedorthic Footcare Association’s (PFA) 54th Annual Symposium and Exhibition a potential total of 18 Category I continuing education credits (13 Category I Scientific Credits and 6 Category I Business Credits; full participation in this program is required to be eligible for the full amount of credits). An additional 4.5 Scientific Credits have
been awarded for the optional pre-Symposium fieldtrip to the Quabaug Corporation R & D laboratory and manufacturing facility on Wednesday, October 30, and an additional 4.5 Category II Scientific Credits for the optional post-Symposium course “CPR for Healthcare Professionals” on Sunday, November 3. Attendees can also earn 2 additional Category II CEUs for visiting the exhibit hall and returning the Category II Exhibit Hall Attendance Credit Application to ABC.
The Board of Certification/Accreditation, International (BOC) is currently reviewing the program to determine the appropriate number of continuing education credits to award the Symposium.
