New CEU Policy for 2025

Effective January 1, 2025, the American Society of Anesthesia Technologists and Technicians (ASATT) implements a new Continuing Education Unit (CEU) policy accepting CEUs in 15-minute increments and recognizes CEUs from the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) as non–third-party credits.

Hello ASATT members!!

I hope 2024 treated you well. This past year the continuing education committee along with the board of directors have been working on a few changes to how we accept CEU’s. The first big change I want to tell you about is how we will be accepting CEU’s. Starting January 1st 2025 ASATT will no longer be doing CEU’s in the increments of 1 hour. Instead, they will be accepted in increments of 15 minutes. This benefits us in a few ways. It allows the members to submit CEU’s from lectures, presentations and hands-on skills labs that don’t necessarily run for the 50-60 minute range. It also gives us more opportunities to get speakers for conferences and webinars that want to speak but don’t necessarily have the 50-60 minutes of content that was needed. This also puts us in line with how other anesthesia related associations do their CEU’s. With that being said, starting January 1st 2025 ASATT will be accepting CEU’s from AANA as non 3rd party CEU’s. This gives the members additional areas to get CEU’s from. I think these changes move us in a better direction and keep us in line with how other organizations are accepting their CEU’s, giving our members more resources to obtain their CEU’s and give ASATT more opportunities to get speakers for our conferences and webinars.
