Recertification Instructions
FOR CVOM MEMBERS
Remember that your applicable continuing education must have been earned during your renewal cycle - for a 07/01/2027 renewal date. Only apply education that falls within your renewal cycle.
If renewal date = 07/01/2027: applicable CE must be earned between July 1, 2025 – July 1, 2027
If renewal date = 07/01/2028: applicable CE must be earned between July 1, 2026 – July 1, 2028
If renewal date = 07/01/2029: applicable CE must be earned between July 1, 2027 – July 1, 2029
If this is your first renewal: you can apply any continuing education earned after their certification date to the renewal date. This only applies to a member’s first renewal.
Continuing education earned through the VHMA will automatically be posted to your Certification Portal.
IMPORTANT: each event (not each program at the event) should be a separate journal entry. The entry date is the date you were awarded the continuing education hours. Each non-VHMA event must be supported with documentation. All continuing education must be documented to be accepted. A certificate of attendance, certificate of completion, transcript or certificate of participation (detailing which sessions you attended) are acceptable as proof of continuing education. For events with multiple programs and tracks a certificate of participation will be requested. The certificate of attendance should include your name, identify the event provider, the event name, the event date and location (if applicable), the delivery method, and total management hours awarded.
Be sure to review the current CVOM continuing education guidelines to be sure your entry is applicable.
