Many CITI Program courses offer continuing education credit. This allows healthcare professional learners who have completed their research ethics and compliance training to apply the time invested toward their professional recertification as well.

Types of credits available to credentialed healthcare professions (Physicians, Nurses, Psychologists, Pharmacists, Dentists, Optometrists, Social Workers, Dietitians, and Athletic Trainers) are covered in our Re-Certification Overview. Credits are designated by the Montefiore Center of Continuing Professional Development of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Earning Montefiore CE certificates is voluntary, and the cost is charged to learners. Learners wishing to earn credits indicate their interest during initial enrollment with CITI Program. At any time, they can review and update their selections posted on a “CME/CE” tab located on their private account.

Indicating an interest in credits is not an obligation to purchase. It is however necessary to activate CME information and functionalities on private accounts to allow learners to purchase earned credits.

CE certificates are available for purchase upon successful completion of eligibility requirements covered in CE Disclosures acknowledged by learners at the start of courses. The earned award is paid online, and the CE certificate and receipt of purchase are sent immediately to the email address entered during the enrollment process.

CITI Program is also accredited by the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) and offers IACET CEUs for its learning events that comply with the ANSI/IACET Continuing Education and Training Standard. IACET is recognized internationally as a standard development organization and accrediting body that promotes quality of continuing education and training. IACET CEUs are available to all learners at no cost. Please confirm with your credentialing organization that IACET CEUs count toward recertification.
