How to Record CE credit

All AAB Members or ABB Diplomates/Certificants have a profile. If you have not activated your login access, call the AAB office at 314-241-1445 for assistance.

If you already have a profile and create a new one when ordering online programs, the CE credits you obtained will not be recorded in your record.

NOTE: Individuals may purchase an online course as many times as they wish. However, continuing education credits will only be awarded once within a two year recording period.

Example of how CE credits would be awarded: If your recording period is January 2014-December 2015, you could purchase the Cryopreservation of Reproductive Cells and Tissues online course in 2014 and receive CE credits. You could not take the Cryopreservation of Reproductive Cells and Tissues course again and receive CE credits in 2015. However, you could take and receive CE credits for the Cryopreservation of Reproductive Cells and Tissues course again in January 2016.

PEER-approved CE credit totals are based on lecture video time and quiz questions.
