Hi all, A few weeks ago, it was brought to my attention that ACVREP might have issues with the use of prerecorded videos for awarding ACVREP CE credits. See the note below from Kathleen Zieder, President of ACVREP. I think we are all set as Leanne entered the total possible number of ACVREP CE hours in our event registration. Good job, Leanne!

It was someone else with the same situation to whom I responded. Just pay for the two day conference and as long as you only make recorded sessions available for three weeks you don't have to upgrade. We are working with Cat 2 providers on this during COVID because we are all in the situation together. If you are going to then allow more points per attendee, then contact Sylvia at css@acvrep.org and ask her to change the number of possible points. I am actually out of the office in the middle of a personal move to a new home. But should be able to check email again this evening if you have any further questions.

We recently renewed our category 2 RPPLE and are now working on our annual 2-day conference which is being conducted online this year because of COVID precautions. Some of our presentations are pre-recorded for ease of presenting them at the confrerence scheduled for April 22-23, 2021 and all sessions (pre-recorded and recorded during live presentations during the live 2-day conference) will be available for participants to view for 3 weeks following the conference (until May 14). We have heard that pre-recorded presentations are not eligible for ACVREP CE hours under category 2. I could not find anything on the ACVREP website to answer our questions. Is this accurate? If we upgrade to category 1 RPPLE, would we be able to use pre-recorded presentations for ACVREP CE hours? Ifwe can do this (upgrade to category 1 and then use pre-recorded sessions) what is the process for us to upgrade our RPPLE status to category 1? Not realizing this issue, we have posted our conference as a 2-day conference since this is the online conference time frame. How can we make this happen for ACVREP certificate holders? Thank you for your assistance in serving ACVREP certificate holders. Sincerely, Roberta McCall Michigan AER Cc: Kassandra Maloney, Micah Borman, Leanne Ford
