Yes. Events designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits(TM) convert to CE contact hours required by the Ohio Board of nursing. Always
confirm with your board, for their approved education requirements.
How can nurses, technicians and other non-physicians obtain attendance certificates?
Attendance certificates are distributed by Medical Staff Services. Please email CME@TheChristHospital.com to request a copy of your certificate within 2 weeks of the activity.
