Continuing Education Opportunities
Many organizations allow self-reporting for
continuing education. Upon request, Spiritual Directors International
is happy to provide Certificates of Completion at the conclusion of conference
that can be used for this purpose.
Association of Professional Chaplains
The Association of Professional Chaplains (APC)
no longer requires APC Certified chaplains to report Continuing Chaplaincy
Education credit on their continuing education summaries. However, they do need
50 hours of continuing education a year. APC Certified chaplains will record
their continuing education and submit their summary form to the APC national
office.
Jewish Chaplains
Jewish chaplains who are certified through the
National Association of Jewish Chaplains (NAJC) have a continuing education
requirement that is fulfilled through self-reporting of learning activities. The
NAJC does not accredit or pre-approve learning activities for this purpose.
Jewish Chaplains may simply include the continuing education component of
Spiritual Directors International Events in their annual continuing education
report.
Medical Professionals
Many state licensing boards will accept
self-reported continuing education. Please check with your specific licensing
board to see if Spiritual Directors International Conference qualifies.
Ministry Professionals
Many ministers (campus ministers, hospice
workers, pastoral care associates, lay ministers, deacons, etc.) belong to
organizations that will accept self-reported continuing education. Please check
with your specific organization to see if Spiritual Directors International
Conference qualifies.
National Association of Catholic Chaplains The approved Continuing Education Hours are: Leadership Institute =
9.5, Conference = 20.5, Men's Spiritual Journey = 9, and Marketing Workshop =
3.
National Association of Social Workers
The application to the National Association of Social Workers Social Workers
for Continuing Education has been approved for 6 credit hours. These credits can
be submitted to state licensing boards.
We receive numerous requests to obtain continuing
education credits from various state licensing boards, universities, programs,
etc. Obviously, due to sheer volume, we are unable accommodate requests for
"local" accrediting. If you have suggestions for national or international
organizations that provide continuing education credit, please e-mail the
necessary contact information to events@sdiworld.org.
