ASCLS offers an attendee "CE Organizer" program in which both ASCLS members and non-members can prepare a certificate and track their attendance. Data from this program can be automatically downloaded to the ASCP BOC Certificate Maintenance Program.
Event Instructions:
At some point near the end of each session, the moderator will announce a unique session code for that session. Record the session code number on the downloadable instruction form. Each attendee will need this number to get credit for attending the session.
