The ABII Board of Trustees is proposing updates to the ABII Continuing Education Requirements. Public comments about the proposed changes are requested on or before October 31, 2026 through email to info@abii.org. The proposed changes are as follows:

• Applications Training has been relocated within the Training category.
• Accredited college or university course activity submissions must include an academic course number assigned by the college or university.
• Only one academic course per CE cycle may be claimed for CE by those preparing and presenting an academic course from an accredited college or university. Courses with the same academic course number submitted in subsequent CE cycles must show content changes to be eligible.
• CE offered for work as a first author that is published in a peer review journal, directed reading, or chapter in a textbook has been updated to allow two hours per published page with a maximum of twelve hours total per article or chapter published.
• CE offered for work as a second or subsequent author published in a peer review journal, directed reading, or chapter in a textbook has been updated to allow one hour per published page with a maximum of six hours total per article or chapter published.
• Preparing and presenting as part of a panel discussion will now be eligible for CE under the Lecture category.
• The Training category has been updated to include applications training, facility/user group training, and online training under one category. Within this category:
  • Preparing and leading applications training will now be eligible for CE.
  • Only one training per CE cycle may be claimed for CE by those preparing and leading all types of training within this category. Training with the same title submitted in subsequent CE cycles must show content changes to be eligible.
• Preparing and leading a live or archived webinar (e.g., SIIM webinar series) will now be eligible for CE. Only one webinar per CE cycle may be claimed by those preparing and leading webinars. Training with the same title submitted in subsequent CE cycles must show content changes to be eligible.
• CE activities submitted for lectures, self-learning, testing, training, webinars, and other unspecified activities in which a Standardized CE form would be used must have an assigned course number.
