The weekly schedule of webinars is posted below and is updated by Monday of each week.

Upcoming Presentations
All presentations are 1 hour.
Program completion requirements: Participants are expected to be present for the entire program. Individuals who are not present for the full program will not be recommended for continuing education credit. No partial credit will be provided. If viewing a recorded RLI, participants must complete a quiz and course evaluation for continuing education credit.
CE Information
Effective April 1, 2025
NOTE: The live webinars are approved for continuing education credit for speech-language pathologists and nurses only.
Respiratory therapists may still view live webinars for general CE credit.
Due to the substantial increase — over 100% — in the fees charged by AARC to register live continuing education courses, we no longer provide public live webinars for AARC CRCE credit. However, we are continuing to offer free recorded (non-traditional) webinars that are fully registered for AARC CRCEs.
Respiratory therapists wanting CRCEs are invited to watch our scheduled recorded programs, visit our on-demand library for current AARC-registered offerings, or schedule a private webinar for current AARC-registered offerings.
All available webinars and their continuing education registration are listed below under each designated tab. Please select viewing of a webinar based on your profession and continuing education options. The tabs are:
SLPs and Nurses: ASHA (ASHA CEUs)/Nursing (CEs) – lists all webinars (live and recorded) that are registered for speech-language pathologists and nurses for continuing education.
RTs and Nurses: AARC (CRCEs)/Nursing (CEs) – lists all recorded/non-traditional webinars that provide CRCEs and CEs.
RTs: (CEs) – lists all live webinars that provide CEs but do NOT provide CRCEs.
CE Information – required continuing education information for each professional association.
Speakers – all speaker information and disclosures.
Handouts – handouts for webinars.
Please be on time for any CEU events, as all webinars are only available to join within 10 minutes of the start time and last for one hour.
Please refer to the CEU FAQ for instructions on how to access course evaluations and certificates of attendance for these Remote Live In-Services.
All Remote Live In-Services are .1 ASHA CEUs (Intermediate level; Professional area) unless otherwise noted on the Remote Live In-Service itself.
