GENERAL INFORMATION:

1. What do the online courses include?

Each course contains one or more videos to watch. These videos are of live programs that were presented as part of the Boston Children’s Hospital Community Education Initiative. (Some of them have been edited for time and/or content.) There are also handouts of the PowerPoint slides used in the video(s) that you can open and refer to during the presentation, or print and keep.

** CONTACT HOURS and Professional Development Points (PDPs)* WILL BE PROVIDED!

There are questions following the videos to assess your knowledge. You must answer each question as part of the assessment of learning for the course. Watch the entire video(s) and answer the quiz questions that follow. Then complete the Course Evaluation. If you complete these tasks and show mastery of the material, you will be issued both a Professional Development Point Certificate* and a Contact Hour Certificate for the course. Professional Development Point certificate can be used to group like content areas. Please be sure to save and print out your certificates before exiting the screen for your records.
