Get continuing education (CEs) credits at our 76th annual Convention & Exposition!

---

CEs will be posted within a month of convention. You can check your CEs earned at convention on the Care Providers of Minnesota website. Log in with your username and password and go to your profile page (by clicking on your name in the upper right corner). From here, you can print certificates of attendance for individual programs or a report with your totals.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
Care Providers of Minnesota is pleased to offer accredited continuing professional education. Tracking attendance for CE purposes will be through a QR code you can scan using your smartphone. 

To receive your CEs, you MUST scan a QR code with the camera on your smart phone at the end of each session. The QR code for each session will show up in the last slide of the session’s PowerPoint presentation. Each code is specific to that particular series. The QR code brings you to a Google form—please fill it out completely for your CEs per session.

Test the QR code example!

Don’t have a smart phone—or having trouble with it? Neighbors/colleagues can help (submissions per phone are not limited). We will also have a ‘master’ code list at Registration, so if you are having any issues, check with Care Providers of Minnesota staff to get your submission completed. (Due to accreditation purposes, all troubleshooting to ensure CE receipt must be addressed on site.)

No more paper tracking forms or paper evaluations! The session evaluation is built into the QR Code process. Please make sure you enter your correct Care Providers of Minnesota ID number (it will be on the bottom of your name badge). This ID number ensures your CEs go to you. You can spell your name wrong, but if you get this number wrong, your CEs won’t be right.

Minnesota Board of Executives for Long-Term Services & Supports
Application for continuing education credit for Minnesota licensed nursing home administrators, licensed assisted living directors, and licensed health services executives will be made through the Minnesota Board of Executives for Long-Term Care Services & Supports for a maximum 13.25 clock hours.
