Colleagues, Please see the message below that I sent to the contact at the APA - she's out of her office, so I was hoping a colleague might be able to clarify. Has anyone else run into problems like this?
Here's my issue: I am having some issues with my Human Resources department about the APA's use of the term "CE credits". My faculty contract has "clock hours" and "CEUs", and my HR department is arguing that a "CE credit" is the same as a "clock hour" - meaning credit for the length of the seminar/workshop, etc. Is this accurate? So, for example, I attended a seminar/workshop at the APS convention in May, and I received "APA credit" according to the website (http://www.psychologicalscience.org/convention/program_2012/search/viewProgram.cfm?Abstract_ID=25706&AbType=&AbAuthor=&Subject_ID=&Day_ID=all&keyword=) and the certificate I received said "3 CE credits". What does that mean exactly? Thanks for clarification on this issue. I would like to take advantage of some of the other opportunities offered for continuing education through the APA, but I don't want to continue to argue with my HR department..... Christine L.
