AAMA Approved CE Programs

The following programs are worth AAMA CEUs.

CPR  |  Two-year CPR cards issued within the applicant’s recertification period will be counted as four clinical AAMA recertifica­tion points. Up to three two-year CPR cards may be submitted for a total of 12 CEUs.

FASDs Program  |  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Collaborative for Alcohol-Free Pregnancy are offering free online training courses on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). These courses provide strategies to improve the delivery of care related to FASDs, including prevention, identification, and management. Earn AAMA CEUs by taking the following courses:

• “Diagnostic Overview of FASDs: Recognition and Referral” (1 gen/clin AAMA CEU)

Learners can save their work as they progress through a course.

To access the courses, click “Learn More” on the right-hand side of the FASDs Training and Resources webpage, select a course from the list, and follow the Resource Link.

Note: These courses have been approved by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET) for 0.1 CEUs. Although “0.1 CEUs” is IACET terminology, 0.1 equates to one hour of continuing education, which is 1 CEU in AAMA nomenclature.

Smiles for Life Program  |  Smiles for Life: A National Oral Health Curriculum is a product of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) that provides educational resources to ensure the integration of oral health and primary care. The curriculum makes it easy for individual medical assistants to access the curriculum and learn on their own time and at their own pace. Each of the eight courses is available online with free continuing education credit. Each course (found under Course Quick Links) has been approved for 1 AAMA CEU credit. All eight modules also are available in downloadable format for classroom or small group education.
