Many long term care Administrators support and improve the profession by publishing articles and textbooks, and by presenting educational sessions related to the field. It is recognized that they enhance their own education and professionalism in the process. Therefore, Administrators may receive alternative continuing education credit for such activities, as defined below.

1. Teaching a course in a related field at an accredited college or university for one academic semester generates twelve (12) CEUs;

2. Teaching a course in a related field as part of a program offered by a professional or academic organization, but not part of a formal academic curriculum, (e.g., CNA, CMA) generates CEUs at the rate of three (3) CEUs for each six (6) contact hours (6 contact hours is the equivalent of a one-day seminar);

3. Publication of an article related to long term care or health care in a professional journal is considered the equivalent of three (3) CEUs;
