Elderwerks CE Policy for Sponsors

In our continued effort to present the highest quality educational events, an administrative fee will be charged by Elderwerks. Please contact an Advisor for more information on costs. Payment is required within 30 days of the program. Elderwerks regularly underwrites CEs for nurses, social workers, professional counselors, and nursing home administrators. We can provide CEs for other professions including PTs, OTs, Dietitians/Nutritionists, Psychologists, Marriage and Family Counselors, certified case managers, and others on a case-by-case basis and for an additional fee. Please contact events@elderwerks.org.
