CONTINUING EDUCATION - Fall 2024
LSU Health Department of Medical Laboratory Science is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the Clinical Laboratory Personnel Committee (CLPC) of the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners (LSBME). These seminars are offered FREE only for individuals who hold a CURRENT Louisiana CLP license. They are also accepted for BOC Credential Maintenance Program (CMP) credit by the ASCP Board of Certification.
CE sessions will be provided live via Zoom one time with the presenter. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions after the seminar. Each session will be recorded during the live presentation and posted on CE Broker for use on-demand at a later date. To obtain CE credit for on-demand seminars, participants will be required to take a post-test based on the seminar. Previously recorded seminars can be found here.
Please click on the registration link for each session you plan to attend below. Information about the presenters’ topics and objectives can be found here.
You MUST pre-register for each live session you plan to attend via Zoom.
- You will need to have a Zoom account in order to register for these sessions. If you do not have a Zoom account, you can sign up for free by going here. Once you have signed in your Zoom account, submit your registration by entering your full name, e-mail address, and LA license number. PLEASE ENTER YOUR LA LICENSE NUMBER AS IT APPEARS ON YOUR CARD/ACCOUNT! (For example, CLP.G09991-GEN, CLP.L09991-LAB, 390132, ETC).
- You will receive an e-mail with the Zoom information for each session for which you registered. BE SURE TO SAVE THIS E-MAIL, AS IT CONTAINS THE WEBLINK, SESSION NUMBER, AND PASSWORD REQUIRED TO BE ADMITTED INTO THE ZOOM SESSION.
- Be sure you have downloaded the Zoom application to your computer, tablet, or smartphone PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE SESSION. You can find more information about Zoom here. You can also download the Zoom app from the Google Play store (PC/Android) as well as the App store (Apple).
- NOTE: Unfortunately, Zoom limits each session to 300 attendees. Please register early as registrations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. If you register and decide not to attend the session, please e-mail us at CLPC@lsuhsc.edu to cancel your registration as we may have a waiting list for that session.
On the day of the session, please use the weblink and password from your registration
e-mail to access the Zoom meeting. When you login, you will be placed into a waiting
room and then be admitted into the Zoom meeting by LSUHSC. We will begin the session
at the scheduled time. In order to qualify for CE credit, you must be in attendance
within the first 20 minutes after the session has begun. As a reminder CE certificates will NOT be printed, mailed, or e-mailed directly to participants!
