We are pleased to announce that we are expanding Continuing Education opportunities for our licensed members. This year, several presentations will be designated as CE presentations in the program. Professional Members who would like to earn CE credits for attending these presentations will pay a single rate to attend all CE presentations and sign in at each CE presentation they attend. After the conference, certificates will be emailed to attendees for each CE presentation they attend. SWPA will attempt to schedule CE presentations such that Professional Members seeking CE credits can earn at least 12 CE hours, though the exact number will depend upon final submissions of workshops and talks. Please verify whether your state board will honor CE hours earned in this manner. None of the CE presentations offered at SWPA are pre-verified with state licensure boards.

For our student members, perhaps you're wonder what CE's are.
~>Psychology continuing education (CE) is a series of formal learning activities that help psychologists keep up with current research and professional standards. It's an ongoing process that helps psychologists maintain and improve their skills.

Why is CE important?
~>CE helps psychologists provide the best care for their clients.
~>CE helps psychologists stay current with the latest scientific evidence, legal issues, and best practices.
~>CE helps psychologists maintain their licenses and meet professional standards.
