Which option correctly describes publishing an article in approved subject areas for CE credit?

• A. No CE credit is awarded.
• B. Credit is awarded for articles or books in editorially reviewed media.
• C. It yields 5 hours per article.
• D. It yields credit only for CODA-listed journals.

Answer: (C)

Publishing an article in approved subject areas is a recognized way to earn continuing education credit, and the standard credit assigned is five hours for each article published. This reflects the Board’s approach of rewarding the professional value of contributing knowledge to the field, not simply attending courses. The credit is tied to the act of publication in an approved area, so it applies regardless of whether the journal is editorially reviewed, as long as the subject area is approved. It’s not limited only to CODA-listed journals, and it isn’t zero credit. So the correct understanding is that you receive five hours of CE per article published in an approved subject area.
