Continuing Education

IRB professionals holding the CIP credential who wish to use credits from ‘The 3 I’s and Bioethics: Strengthening a Culture of Commitment & Community’ for recertification should select general sessions targeting all conference attendees and those specifically noted for IRBs.  CCIP accepts documentation of continuing education hours when the topics fall within the CIP Body of Knowledge and the education is intended to be beyond initial, basic or fundamental level education. 30 hours are required, of which at least 15 must carry CE credits issued by a recognized accrediting body.  Appropriate hours from this conference can be used towards the 15 hours that are not required to carry CE credits.

Some portions of this program may meet the requirements for CPIA continuing education. The CPIA Council accepts documentation of continuing education hours when the topics fall within the CPIA Body of Knowledge. If you are unsure about whether a specific session meets these requirements you should consult with PRIM&R.
