Excellence in Gyn courses carry 8.0 ACNM-approved continuing education hours, three of them designated as pharmacology RxCEs. Backed by the American College of Nurse-Midwives and the Oregon Nurses Association (an ANCC-accredited approver), our credits travel across state lines and renewal cycles.
A continuing education credit, or contact hour, is the unit your certifying body uses to verify that you have completed approved post-licensure learning. One contact hour represents sixty minutes of educational engagement reviewed and validated by an accredited provider. Boards of nursing, midwifery, and pharmacology recognize these credits as evidence that you're keeping current with evolving evidence and practice standards.
Most APRN and midwife credentialing pathways require somewhere between 20 and 40 contact hours every two to three years, with a defined portion designated as pharmacology (commonly called RxCE). Specialty certifications layer additional requirements on top. Where you earn your credits matters: only credits issued by an accredited provider count toward those renewal totals, which is why the line at the bottom of your certificate is the line auditors actually read.
If you've sat through enough recorded webinars to fill a renewal cycle, you already know the gap. Here's what changes when the people writing the course are the same people still seeing patients on Monday morning.
Plenty of CE providers will sell you eight hours of a slideshow. Ours are eight hours of clinical decision-making, written and delivered by midwives still in practice. The result: credits that satisfy the renewal form and material that survives on Monday morning.
Every lesson ends with what you'll do differently in clinic the next time you see the patient. We were tired of CE that ticked the box without changing care, so we built ours to do both.
Pharmacology hours are some of the hardest CE credits to find, and they're mandatory for every prescriber's license renewal. Three of our eight hours qualify.
ACNM-approved credit is recognized by AMCB and most state nursing boards. ONA approval, backed by ANCC's Commission on Accreditation, extends acceptance across every U.S. state board of nursing.
The RxCE hours alone justified the enrollment, they're the hardest credits to find and the easiest to under-fill. But what surprised me was the shared-decision-making script. I have used it verbatim in three visits since I finished the course.
Finally a CE that respects my time and my licensure. The certificate showed up in my account before I had closed the browser tab. Activity number, RxCE designation, the works, exactly what AMCB wants to see.
I have been doing this for fifteen years and the course still taught me the non-hormonal pharmacotherapy chapter cold. That's worth eight hours of anyone's time, accredited or not.
Credits are issued automatically the moment you complete the post-test and the brief evaluation. Your certificate appears in My Account → Certificates within 60 seconds of submission, and a copy is emailed to the address on file. We do not charge a fee for the certificate or for re-issuance.
For midwives, ACNM-approved CE is the gold standard and is recognized by AMCB for certificate maintenance and by every state board that licenses CNMs and CMs. For NPs and other APRNs, our ONA-issued credits, backed by ANCC's Commission on Accreditation, are accepted by every U.S. state board of nursing as well as AANP and ANCC for recertification.
Hours specifically reviewed for pharmacology content. Most boards require prescribers to complete a defined number of RxCEs at every renewal, typically 15 hours every two years, and they're harder to find than general CE. Three of our eight course hours qualify as RxCEs and are clearly labeled on your certificate.
Courses and the practice toolkit remain accessible from your account for 24 months. The Community of Excellence stays open for the same 24-month window. Certificates of completion never expire and remain downloadable from your account indefinitely.
Most healthcare employers reimburse accredited CE under their professional development or continuing-medical-education benefit. We provide an itemized invoice and a copy of the accreditation statement at checkout, both are typically all your benefits coordinator needs. Email contact@excellenceingyn.com if you need anything else.
Save the PDF certificate from your account and you're set. Our certificates list the accredited provider (ACNM or ONA), the activity number, the credit amount and type (general CE vs. RxCE), the completion date, and the participant's printed name, every data point a state board or specialty body asks for in an audit.
Every U.S. state board of nursing accepts ANCC-accredited CE, which our ONA-issued credit qualifies as. If your specialty body has a unique requirement (e.g. AANA or NCCPA), email contact@excellenceingyn.com with your renewal cycle requirements; we'll confirm acceptance before you enroll.
Implementing Menopause Care into Practice is open for enrollment. 8.0 ACNM-approved CE hours, 3.0 RxCE hours, 24-month toolkit access, and a Community of Excellence alongside the founders. One purchase, one renewal cycle's worth of credit, one practice changed.
