Click here to access the 2013 Renewal by Continuing Education Handbook and Application as a pdf file. This pdf file provides an "editable/fillable" option for the application portion of the Handbook that allows you to enter data from your computer's keyboard for the majority of information required on Part I of the application, as well as Part II**, the Summary of Continuing Education Activities Form. Please note that all initials and signatures on the application must still be completed in ink after you print the document. We hope this format will be of assistance to you in completing the application.
**For Part II, most individuals will still find that use of the tracking option found in the CDE area of the web site (CDE login) will be the easiest way to track/document their continuing education activities.
†IMPORTANT: Be sure to review the Handbook for the dates that applications are accepted. Applications submitted outside of the application window cannot be processed and will be returned.
