Continuing Education/Continuing Medical Education (CE/CME)  

The 2024 NHPCO Annual Leadership Conference (ALC2024) plans to offer CE/CME credit for interprofessional, nurses, physicians, and social workers both to those who attend the live conference in Denver, Colorado (live activities) and through an on-demand library (enduring material). The material presented in the education sessions represents the opinions of the faculty and not necessarily the views of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) or the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB). 

Please Note: Attendees must select their desired credit type(s) upon registration for the conference. Credit type may be changed up to the start of the conference but cannot be changed once the conference has started.

To check your selected credit type once registered, login to the Attendee Service Center, select “Registration Edit,” and the “Edit” link. Navigate to the second page, “CE Credits,” to verify or change your selection. Make sure to hit “Continue” until the final page to “Complete Registration.” If you have registration questions or need assistance, please contact: conferences@nhpco.org.  

Participants registered for the in-person conference will have access to both the live sessions in Denver, Colorado, and the on-demand library (enduring material). Participants registered for the on-demand conference will have access to the on-demand library (enduring material). 

Credit hours are determined based on individual attendance/participation and evaluation of each session and may be less than the maximum number offered. In addition, the amount of CE/CME credit available is subject to change.   

The chart below indicates the approximate number of credit/clock hours available for each type of educational session (live/on-demand) and is subject to change once the conference program is released in June.
