FAQ

What is the maximum number of CE/CME credits I can claim per course?

You may claim up to the maximum number of credits designated for the course. If multiple credit levels are offered, your total selections cannot exceed this maximum. Claim credits only for the time you participated in the course.

Is there a time limit for completing CE/CME certified courses?

Yes. All modules in CE/CME certified courses must be completed within the time period specified by your course provider and profession. Credit designation periods are shown on course CE disclosure pages at the beginning of each course for your review.

Are CE certificate fees paid by learners or organizations?

Learners are responsible for CE credit certificate fees. Organizational subscription fees only cover access to CITI Program courses and do not include CE credit fees.

Do learners receive proof of payment for their purchases?

Yes, learners receive a payment acknowledgment email along with their certificate immediately upon purchase.

What if I need an extra copy of my CE certificate?

You can print a copy anytime by clicking the PDF icon in the CE/CME Purchase box at the top of your CE/CMEs Preference page (MyCE's tab).

Does CITI Program send my CE/CME credits to my recertification agency?

No, CITI Program does not submit credits on your behalf. It is the learner’s responsibility to report earned credits to their agency.

Will CITI Program update me on my professional recertification status?

No, your licensing agency will provide updates on your recertification status. CITI Program can only inform you of the certified courses and modules you’ve completed.

Please Note:

CE Certificates and Certificates of Participation vs. Completion Reports and Completion Certificates

• CE Certificates are available to physicians, psychologists, nurses, and social workers for CE/CME credits toward recertification.
• Certificates of Participation are available for other professions if their licensing agency accepts AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

Completion Reports (informing your organization of course completion) and Completion Certificates (frameable documents for personal use) do not qualify for recertification.
