UpToDate is accredited and recognized as a continuing education resource by colleges, associations, and authorities from around the world. If your local authority is not listed below, please contact UpToDate (editorial@uptodate.com) for more information. NOTE: *CME/CE/CPD credit is not available with individual subscriptions purchased at trainee rates.
UpToDate is accredited by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners as an approved provider of nurse practitioner continuing education. For each hour of participation with the UpToDate program, NPs can claim 1.0 contact hour. UpToDate automatically tracks the time you spend using the service.
UpToDate can be a valuable source of Class B credit under the Non-Prior Approved and/or Non-Assessed CE category of the Professional Certification Program (CPC). To determine if your engagement is compliant with claiming Class B credit, you should review the information detailed in the NBCRNA's Class B Requirements Table. One hour of engagement in activities that qualify for this category is compatible with earning 1 Class B credit.
The Pediatric Nursing Certification Board's (PNCB) recertification program accepts AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ and AANP NP contact hours, both of which UpToDate offers, to count toward the annual requirement of 15 contact hours. PNCB certificants must enter each individual CE activity as a separate entry on the application/tracker.
