We appreciate your patience and feedback as we have ventured to enhance our certification renewal categories and make them more flexible. Our goal is to make your ANCC certification renewal more robust, impactful, and meaningful to your practice.  \nAll certification renewal candidates are required to complete a MANDATORY 75 continuing education hours (CH), plus one or more of the eight ANCC renewal categories, all in your certification specialty. All Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN)—clinical nurse specialists (CNS) and nurse practitioners (NP)—are also required to complete 25 CH of pharmacotherapeutics as a portion of the mandatory 75 CH in the CNS or NP certification held. Clinicians renewing more than two years after their certification expiration date must complete the mandatory 75 CH and Category 8, provided the exam or portfolio is available.  \nEffective June 1, 2016, you can take advantage of the following changes:  \nThe addition of two NEW categories—Category 7: Practice Hours and Category 8: Assessment  \n(Examination or Portfolio), which are now OPTIONAL categories for clinicians who are either:  \n1. Renewing prior to their certification expiration date, or  \n2. Within two years of their certification expiration.  \nIn addition, the following renewal categories have been enhanced: Category 3: Presentations  \nClinicians can now claim one or more presentations in which they were a presenter totaling five clock hours pertaining to a topic in their certification specialty.  \nCategory 4: Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) or Quality Improvement Project (QI), Publication, or Research Clinicians can now document their participation in an EBP or QI project related to their certification specialty. This project must be within the current certification renewal period.  \nCategory 5: Preceptor Hours  \nInter-professional, multidisciplinary, or transdisciplinary healthcare has evolved and preceptorship among specialty-certified clinicians is an essential component for success.  \nClinicians, in addition to APRNs, can now claim precepting of medical, physician assistant, or pharmacy students in an academic program related to their certification specialty.  \nClinicians can now claim precepting of students in a formal fellowship, residency, or internship program (at the same practice level or higher) .  \nCategory 6: Professional Service  \nClinicians can now claim time volunteered on medical mission trips as part of satisfaction for this category.  \n1  \n2017 CERTIFICATION RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS © ANCC 2017. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.  \nABOUT THIS HANDBOOK  \nThis handbook provides important information on renewal eligibility, including how to renew and  \noptions for expired or lapsed certifications.  \nPurpose of Certification Renewal  \nHealthcare technology, strategies, and research can change professional practice and healthcare, and this can become an issue for public safety. Due to these changes, ANCC’s Commission on Certification established a five-year period for certification. Renewing certification every five years provides evidence to the public that the certified individual is meeting requirements for continued competence by updating his or her knowledge and showing commitment to lifelong learning. Certification can be renewed through various professional development and practice activities.  \nCertification renewal may also permit you to seek continued licensure, reimbursement, and potential employer recognition.  \nCertification renewal is required for continued use of your ANCC certification credentials. If you choose not to renew your ANCC certification, then you must cease using your ANCC credentials after your certification expiration date.  \nOverview of Certificatio","cbCaieZp9ZgcxObs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieZp9ZgcxObs","pdf",69382,13,"English","# Purpose of Certification Renewal\n# Overview of Certification Renewal Process\n# New Information\n## Category Minimum Requirement for Submission","[{\"question\":\"What is the mandatory continuing education requirement for certification renewal candidates?\",\"answer\":\"All renewal candidates must complete a mandatory 75 continuing education hours (CH) in their certification specialty, plus one or more ANCC renewal categories.\"},{\"question\":\"Are practice hours and assessment required renewal categories for 2017?\",\"answer\":\"Category 7 (Practice Hours) and Category 8 (Assessment) are optional for clinicians who renew prior to their expiration date or within two years of expiration.
