If you are looking for your NCCAOM certificate from 2019, it should be available in the NCCAOM Diplomate Portal at NCCAOM.org. For other certificates from 2019 or earlier or NCCAOM from 2018 or earlier, please send an email to [email protected]

According to both NCCAOM and the California Acupuncture Board, live webinars count as “live courses.” This means that credit is awarded for verified attendance. No final quiz is required. Some states may have limitations on live webinar CEUs. Please check with your state licensing agency for current rules and regulations on how many live webinar credits you can use in the renewal process.

Attendance is verified by the attendee’s completion of the attendance verification form on the Pacific Symposium website. The Zoom video-conferencing platform also keeps a log of each attendee’s time in each meeting room.

Special note for NCCAOM diplomates: Please be sure to complete your attendance verification by November 8, 2020.

California acupuncturists and other healthcare professionals who are eligible for continuing education credit will be able to download valid certificates (one per presentation) directly from the Pacific Symposium website immediately after the event ends.

NOTE 1: The downloadable certificates are one per presentation. We are unable to combine them into a single certificate at this time.
NOTE 2: The downloadable certificate is not valid for NCCAOM.
NOTE 3: If your state license number does not appear on a certificate, it was probably not entered in that field on the verification form. You can edit that field at any time and then download a new version of your certificate.
