37th ISS Continuing Education Units

The 37th ISS offers CEUs for courses that comply with University of Pittsburgh standards. All ISS sessions have an abstract, speaker bios, speaker disclosures of real or potential conflicts of interest, measurable learning objectives, and references to comply with most CEU standards. 

Amount of CEUs at the 37th ISS

Up to 1.70 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) can be earned by individuals attending 17 hours of instruction at the main ISS conference sessions. Additional CEUs are awarded for pre-conference workshops. (0.4 CEUs for half-day workshops, 0.8 CEUs for full-day workshops)

CEU Certificates

CEU Certificates are issued electronically via email attachment. After attending the 37th ISS, attendees are required to log back into www.seatingsymposium.us, complete an overall ISS conference evaluation and course evaluations for each individual session attended.
A unique course identification code is provided at the end of each session that must be entered. The CEU certificate is prorated based on sessions actually attended with course evaluations and unique session codes.

Upon completion of the ISS and course evaluations, attendees will be provided with a code for use towards 40 hours of online webinars and additional CEU’s. Please note, this code is NOT valid for the RESNA Review Course, or the AT CERT course.

Information for Specific Credentials

The University of Pittsburgh, School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences awards Continuing Education Units to individuals who enroll in certain educational activities. The CEU is designated to give recognition to individuals who continue their education in order to stay current in their profession. (One CEU is equivalent to 10 hours of participation in an organized continuing education activity.) Each person should claim only those hours of credit that they actually spent in the educational activity.
