How can I calculate and award contact hours for poster sessions (such as at a convention or multi-day CNE event)?
A. To award contact hours for poster sessions, the same criteria must be followed as for any other CE activity, including a logical and defensible method of determining the number of contact hours to award. There are a number of options. The approach chosen depends on the location of the posters, the schedule of the conference, and the objectives of the poster session. Simply assigning time in the conference schedule is not sufficient. The ANCC Accreditation Program staff can assist you in identifying options for your specific poster session.
