Proposed changes to CEU's requirements
 

Regarding proposed changes to 18VAC110-21-120. requirements for continuing education subsection C

 “Of the 15 contact hours required for annual renewal, at least five hours shall be obtained in courses or programs that are live or real-time interactive.”

While I support the Board requiring specific CEU’s (e.g. opioid related material) as part of the annual 15 hour renewal, I see no need to require 5 hours of live or real-time programming. Some of us, myself included, learn more from the written lessons. After all, a CEU is a CEU.
