In the current state of affairs, aka COVID-19, it can be difficult to maintain career responsibilities such as keeping up with continuing education credits. Especially now that the annual UAND conference has been cancelled. Workarounds to provide those hours are still being discussed as most of our members rely on the annual conference for many of their CPEUs. However, until an alternative has been completely worked out, we’ve created a list of resources where you can find FREE CPEUs. Most of them can be done at your own pace. Happy learning!
