Continuing Education
As part of the education benefits available through the Education Fund, members have access to multiple accredited continuing education vendors that provide Continuing Education Units (CEUs) both online and in-person, at no additional expense to you. Some of our partners offer continuing education for specific healthcare roles, while some provide CEUs across most areas of healthcare. Review our list of continuing education partners below and learn how to apply through MyEdFund.
If you’ve already taken and paid for CEUs yourself, or you’d like to take them with a vendor not listed below, you may be eligible for our Continuing Education Reimbursement program. With Continuing Education Reimbursement, we offer members the opportunity to get reimbursed up to $1,500 annually for costs of Continuing Education Units, certifications, licenses or specialty certifications.
