Instructions, Timelines and Resources
 
Part 1: Complete the Request for CE Credit
This form must be completed before any activity planning begins and as far in advance as possible.
Submission Deadlines
  • Multi Day Activities: Submit at least 60 days before the activity start date
  • Single Day Activities: Submit at least 45 days before the activity start date
You may select Save Draft at any time to save your progress and return later.
Planning Committee Requirements
The planning committee must reflect the target audience for the activity.
  • Interprofessional activities must include healthcare professionals from two or more professions.
  • Single profession activities require representation from that profession.
Disclosure of Financial Relationships
  • A Disclosure of Financial Relationships Form is required for all planners of clinical CE activities. Planners for verified non-clinical topics are not required to complete a disclosure form.
  • Before you begin, ensure you have the names and email addresses for all planners for your proposed CE activity.
  • All disclosure information is submitted through the faculty dashboard in Ethos.
    We no longer use Microsoft Forms to collect disclosures. After you submit your Request for CE with planner names and emails, planners who must complete a disclosure will receive an automated email with instructions and a due date. You do not need to upload disclosures.
  • In rare cases where a manual disclosure form is required, the CE Programs Manager will provide it to you.
After Submission of the Request for CE Credit
Once your Request for CE Credit and required disclosures have been submitted:
  • The CE team reviews the Request for CE Credit, disclosure information, and any supplementary documentation.
  • The activity is assigned to a CE Programs Manager. The assigned CE Programs Manager emails the Course Director with the project plan and notifies them if there are any outstanding disclosure forms from the Planning Committee.
  • The review of the Request for CE Credit will not begin until all required disclosures for Course Directors and Planning Committee members have been submitted.
  • The CE team determines whether any planner has a relevant financial relationship and whether mitigation is required.
  • The Course Director and any Coordinators listed on the Request for CE Credit will be contacted by email if additional information is needed, mitigation is required, or regarding the decision to proceed with planning the CE activity.
Part 2: Complete the Continuing Education Planning Form
If the proposed activity meets accreditation standards, the next step is to complete the CE Planning Form.
Submission Deadline
  • All Planning Forms and required documents must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the activity start date.
Details Required
  • The Planning Form requires detailed information about the CE activity.
  • Any planning resources or guidance materials can be added here if needed.
