AACC Online Continuing Education Certificate Center

Thank you for attending the AACC Annual Meeting!

If you attended any of the scientific sessions approved for continuing education credit, you may go online and print your continuing education certificate by following the easy steps below.

Before you begin, be sure to have:

  • Your Continuing Education Recording Form (completed during the Annual Meeting).
  • Adobe ® Acrobat® Reader ® on your computer to view and download your certificate, which is stored in Portable Document Format (PDF) format. If you don’t have Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® click here to get your free copy.

Steps to Obtain Your Continuing Education Certificate

1. Check the Online Demographic Form, and make any changes, if needed. Note: Florida clinical laboratory professionals requesting ACCENT ® credit must provide their Florida Department of Health license number in order to receive credit.
2. Indicate if you will be requesting Verification of Participation certificate for ACCENT ® or AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM . (Note: AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM is for physicians only). Then, click on "Proceed to Create Session List".
3. At "Create Session List" you will create the list of sessions you attended.
4. For each session, enter the continuing education (CE) code (displayed or announced at the end of the session) then click on "Add".
5. After entering the CE code for a session and clicking on "Add", check that the correct session is listed under "List of Sessions Attended".
6. If you attended more than one session, repeat steps #4 and #5.
7. Once you have finished creating the list of all of the sessions for which you are requesting credit, click on “Finalize Session List”.
8. At "Finalize List of Sessions", compare the list of sessions to your Continuing Education Recording Form. The following changes can be made at this screen:
     - change the amount of credits being claimed for a session. The amount of credits claimed should be the amount of time you actually spent in the activity.
     - add more sessions
     - remove a session
9. If the list of sessions is correct, click on “Proceed to Certificate”. Important Note: Before clicking on "Proceed to Certificate", be sure your list of sessions is correct because once you proceed to the next screen, you will not be able to go back and make any changes.
10. The final screen will display in PDF format your Verification of Participation certificate. Print the certificate by clicking on the Print icon in your browser or select File, Print. As noted above, once you get to this screen, you will not be able to go back and make any changes. If you need to create a new certificate, you must start again at the Online Demographic Form.
Please note: The maximum number of credits that may be claimed for attending the scientific sessions is 30.0 credits.
