What's the Difference Between Category 1 and Category 2 CEUs?
Category 1 CEUs
- Are applied for by activity organizers before the activity occurs.
- Require pre-approval from NSGC and cannot be approved retroactively.
- Are NOT reported by individual attendees directly to NSGC. Activity organizers submit claims and earner reports on behalf of attendees.
- Category 1 CEUs should make up at least 60% of a genetic counselor's recertification credits.
Category 2 CEUs
- Are applied for on an individual basis by genetic counselors.
- Are applied for AFTER attending an event that was not Category 1 approved. Quarterly applications required for series activities.
- Are valid only for activities that have been pre-approved by a reputable accreditation body or CEU provider (not NSGC).
