CONFERENCE ATTENDEES CAN EARN UP TO 24 CE CREDITS: For those seeking IASD or APA CE credits (Continuing Education) for mental health and health professionals and PDPs (Professional Development Points) for teachers, you must have pre-reserved, or at registration pay for, the CE packet. To obtain CE credits you must pay a CE processing fee, obtain a CE Log at registration, carry it with you at all times, and have each CE event you attend initialed by a room monitor. You must have the room monitor at the end of each event certify your attendance with their initials. CE Credits will be awarded based on the CE designated sessions you have attended and for which you have obtained confirming signatures at the sessions. Therefore, in order to receive a maximum number of CE credits, you must attend the full four-day conference and select CE eligible events. See more detailed information in the CE packet you will receive at the conference.
IASD is an APA CE SPONSOR: The provider of the CE credits is the IASD Dream Studies Continuing Education program. In addition, IASD is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. IASD maintains responsibility for the program and its content.
WHICH CONFERENCE EVENTS QUALIFY FOR CE or PDP? There are over 100 events during the four-day conference. Only events marked with the letters “CE” in the program will qualify for IASD CE Credits. Events marked CE* qualify for APA CE credits. Any conference symposium or lecture events (not workshops) may qualify for PDP, but those marked with the letters “PDP” are most likely to be accepted by school administrators. Events not marked with CE or CE* do not qualify for CE credits.
PAYMENT OF $30 PROCESSING FEE: CE credits and PDPs will NOT be issued unless the $30 registration fee has been paid in advance when registering for the conference or paid at registration at the start of the conference. In addition, CE and PDP registrants must: 1) Select CE-designated events, 2) Have their attendance checked and initialed by room monitors at each event, and 3) Turn in all forms prior to departing the conference. CE and PDP cannot be issued after the conference or without properly completed forms. No exceptions can be granted.
OPTIONAL AGING CREDITS: A 3 credit course on Dreams and Aging, fills the board requirement for Aging credits for all California psychotherapists (BOP and BBSE).
WHEN AND WHERE DO I GET MY CREDITS: Certificates will be issued on Saturday between noon and 4 PM at the Registration Desk. You must turn in fully completed forms and evaluations during those times to receive credit. If you are leaving the conference early, please inform the Registration Desk of this when you register. CE and PDP certificates will not be sent to participants afterwards. There will be no exceptions.
ABOUT CE CERTIFICATES: Certificates are issued by IASD for successful completion of CE or PDP hours. The certificate provides a permanent record of training that may be applicable for insurance panels, hospital staff status, or independent study credit at educational institutions. Please keep in mind that each state and each profession’s licensing board may have different requirements. CE credit is not synonymous with any kind of academic credit. However, CE credit may become part of independent study credit if the academic institution agrees to accept the credit. In general, CE hours can provide a permanent record of training received for varied professional purposes such as documentation for licensing or insurance panels. IASD cannot guarantee that any particular regional license board will accept the CE units obtained at this conference. IASD maintains records of CE units earned. A certificate is issued at the end of the conference when all evaluation forms have been completed and CE monitors have checked the CE attendance log. Credits must be checked by monitors during the conference and tallied at the end of the conference if CE credit is to be awarded. IASD will issue the certificate at the conference in person to the attendee and will not mail a certificate unless requested and can only grant the receipt of a certificate if all procedures listed above have been followed. There is an additional $30.00 handling fee imposed by IASD if a replacement certificate is requested.
