Continuing Education/Continuing Medical Education (CE/CME)

The 2023 Annual Leadership Conference (ALC2023) offers CE/CME credit for compliance professionals, interprofessional, nurses, physicians, and social workers who attend the live conference in Little Rock, Arkansas (live activities). The conference also offers an on-demand library (enduring material) for compliance professionals, interprofessional, nurses, and physicians.
