Continuing Education Category 1 Course Submission Checklist

This document is a checklist designed for the submission of Category 1 (core) continuing education courses to the Quality Assurance Committee. It outlines the criteria that must be met for a course to be considered for approval, including the necessity for the course to be broadly relevant, necessary for maintaining professional standards, and progressive in advancing the profession. The checklist is divided into five parts: contact information, course information, presenter information, course delivery requirements, and attachments and attestations. Each section provides specific instructions and criteria that need to be fulfilled by the approved sponsor and presenters. The document also details the responsibilities of approved sponsors and presenters, including the requirement for courses to be evidence-informed and free of commercial bias. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and equitable access in course content and delivery.
