As a Jointly Accredited Organization, the American Diabetes Association is approved to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. Organizations, not individual courses, are approved under this program. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit. The American Diabetes Association maintains responsibility for this course. Social workers completing this course receive 29.5 continuing education credits.

Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists

To satisfy the requirement for renewal of certification by continuing education for the Certification Board for Diabetes Care and Education (CBDCE), continuing education activities must be diabetes related and approved by a provider on the CBDCE List of Approved Providers (www.cbdce.org). CBDCE does not approve continuing education. The American Diabetes Association is on the CBDCE List of Approved Providers.
