Earn CEU & PDA Units

Our upcoming CEU offerings will include live webinars, designed to help providers meet the California Acupuncture Board (CAB) and NCCAOM requirements for license renewal, with a focus on professional ethics, clinical safety, and regulatory compliance.

California CEU Requirements

Law & Ethics CE: Effective October 1, 2024 — all active-status renewals require at least 4 hours of CE Board Approved “Law and Ethics.”

Live vs. Distance Education: At least 50% of the required CE hours (25 hours) must be completed through live instruction—either in person or through a live webinar. Up to 50% of hours may be completed through distance or home-study courses.

Our first two classes are being presenting by
