It was another exciting year for continuing education at ABMP in 2024! We offered two ABMP CE Summit online events on headaches and low-back pain—free for everyone in the profession—and added over 30 new CE hours to the ABMP Education Center.
“ABMP strongly believes in the value of continuing education, and it’s an honor to provide events and courses for practitioners to enhance their professional and personal skills,” says Kristin Coverly, ABMP’s director of professional education. “Learners earned more than 125,000 hours of CE in the ABMP Education Center in 2024. It’s moving to think of the ripple effect that knowledge will have on their practices, clients, and the profession.”
