What disciplines are eligible for which credits?
Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners are the only disciplines that may claim Continuing Nursing Education credits. However, L.P.N.'s and Nurse's Aides are encouraged to complete nursing forms as Albany Medical College will track/validate their attendance as evidence of their participation (up to 3-years).
Because Nurse Practitioners may "apply" for both nursing and CME credits, they may chose which type of credits they would like by completing the appropriate forms. One type of credit must be selected. Both types of credit may not be applied for.
** Physicians may claim Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit. Physician extenders and other healthcare providers are encouraged to check with their credentialing boards for reciprocity of CME credits.
Physician assistants, pharmacists, nurse practitioners not claiming Nursing Credits, dentists, dental hygienists, social workers and all other disciplines are asked to complete CME paperwork. *Albany Medical College will track attendance for all disciplines that complete the CME sign-in and evaluation form.
**All participants, regardless of their discipline, must complete the HRSA Participant Information Form**
