NCRA Program Recognition

NCRA Program Recognition

Organizations can submit their cancer registry educational programs for NCRA program recognition. The recognition is two-fold: first, it acknowledges that the course, workshop, or conference offers appropriate continuing education (CE) for cancer registrars and, secondly, it assigns the number of eligible CE hours. Basic and fundamental programs are not eligible for continuing education hours. Benefits of the program include the ability to market the program as “NCRA-Approved” and to highlight the number of assigned CE credits eligible for credential maintenance.

The new Program Recognition Application is updated to include Continuing Education In-Person (CEIP) eligibility. Learn more about the new CEIP requirement at https://www.ncra-usa.org/ODS-Credential/CEIP.

NEW: A Live Interactive Meetings

A Live Interactive meeting is an event that includes at least five (5) professionals gathering in-person to learn from real-time, live remote presenter(s). While the presenter may be remote, the attendees must gather in-person. The program must also be pre-approved by NCRA. If the educational program is not already approved with a Program Number, you should also complete the Program Recognition Application for that educational content. An event attendance list must be sent to NCRA within 2 business days of the Live Interactive CEIP Meeting.

All NCRA-approved programs are posted on NCRA’s website, which helps to raise awareness of your event. Questions? Email ProgramRec@ncra-usa.org or call 703-299-6640 Ext. 315.
