CDR Update – COVID 19
|
As the Academy and CDR continue to closely monitor the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in coordination with guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and state and local governments, the health and safety of our communities remain a top priority. We are taking every precautionary measure to prevent any additional spread of COVID-19, while ensuring the least amount of disruption to CDR operations. From a public health perspective, it is wise and socially responsible for CDR to do its part in reducing the pandemic's curve and easing the potential burden on the health care system. Toward the goal of safeguarding all employees, their families and members of the community. CDR's physical office is closed until September 8th. CDR's robust telecommuting program ensures that our employees can perform essential job functions remotely. The vast majority of services to CDR's credentialed practitioners will remain uninterrupted. |

Despite the cancellation of these events, registrants are encouraged to make a sincere attempt to complete the required CPEUs (75-RDs and 50-DTRs) by May 31, 2020. This can be accomplished by means other than live events or seminars. Alternative CPE resources are noted below. They include a link to CDR’s CPE Database and Accredited Provider list. These resources will allow you to find many online self-study options, prior-approved recorded seminars and webinars, professional reading materials, and other online video and audio materials.
