Frequently Asked Questions Regarding
CE credits and NAVAS Subscriptions
Up to 12 hours of RACE-approved CE credits are available for NAVAS subscribers who attend the sessions at the symposium on May 3 & 4. For active subscribers who attended the symposium interactively, i.e. in real-time, we will send out the CE certificates in the week after the symposium. To obtain Interactive CE credit, attendees must watch the live broadcast of the pre-recorded lectures at the scheduled time and attend the associated live Q&A Sessions. Although the lectures are pre-recorded, you will still receive CE credit as if it were a live event. These are interactive session certificates are self-reporting, so it is up to the attendees to keep track of which sessions they attended. All NAVAS subscribers will have access to on-demand CE credits for the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Symposium sessions for the foreseeable future. Subscribers will just have to answer 5 questions after watching the videos. We will send instructions to all NAVAS subscribers on how to access the on-demand session on the Monday morning following the symposium. To ensure that you get your interactive CE certificate and have access to the on-demand sessions, you need to confirm that you registered for the symposium with the same email address as your NAVAS subscription. In addition, you need to make sure you have both the first and last name you want on your on-demand CE certificate entered into your NAVAS account. If you are not sure about either of these requirements, please email us at info@myNAVAS.org. IMPORTANT: We realize that people can have fluctuating schedules so we allowing symposium attendees, or those who registered but couldn't attend the live sessions, to purchase subscriptions up until 11:59 PM MDT, Sunday, May 11, 2025.
