Hands on workshops at home
I was wondering about the actual bodywork sessions. The foot, neck, and Shoulder. I was wanting to have an actual client on my table during these 3 sessions and was wondering if they are going to be instructed in such a way that this would be possible for me to follow along with a client in my session room and if it would be beneficial. Thanks

Hello Kim! That's a great
Hello Kim! That's a great question! Yes, you should be able to follow along during the three hands-on technique courses. Although, in some instances, they may change the client's body position more quickly than you can keep up with. You won't be able to pause the live event video during the CE Summit but, if you're an ABMP member, you will have ongoing access to the courses in the ABMP Education Center after the event. There you'll be able to pause the course video, as needed! Please send an email my way at ce@abmp.com if you have any other questions.
I hope to see you online during the ABMP CE Summit!

CEUs
Hi,
I have registered for the event and am looking forward to it. Is there anything else I need to do to be a part of the CEU courses that will be offered? How will the 9 CEUs be certified to submit to the board?
Thank you,
Julene
re: CEUs
Thank you Julene! If you've registered for the event you just need to follow the link in your confirmation email. Right now that page has all the information you need, and it will be your personal link to the live event where you can earn CE for the courses. The courses will all be NCBTMB approved, so the certification with your state will depend on state rules. Please contact Kristin at ce@abmp.com for specific questions regarding your state, and let us know if you have any additional questions. We hope you enjoy the CE Summit!

Hi Nicole, If you missed the live presentations today they will be uploaded to the ABMP Education Center sometime on Friday and will be available on-demand for ABMP members, and the Plantar Foot Pain presentation will be available for purchase for nonmembers. You can still attend the next two days live.
Am I able to replay today sessions?
I started listening to today's sessions but had to stop. I paused the video and when I returned to play it again it did not start again. I reloaded and then it went to Wednesday's schedule. Is there any way I can resume where I left off?
Melissa, During the live
Melissa, During the live event you are not able to pause and start the video on your own schedule, it is a group broadcast that everybody is seeing at the same time. The courses will be available in the ABMP Education Center on Friday for on-demand viewing by ABMP members, and if you're not a member you can purchase course access at that time. Details will be available on the page at www.abmp.com/summit

Hi Marlise, Here is the answer to your question, let us know if we can help with anything else!
I won’t be able to attend all of the live presentations. Will replays and CE credit be available after the event?
ABMP members: yes, all of the webinars will be added to the ABMP Education Center after the event for you to view and take an online quiz to earn free CE credit at ABMP.com/ce. You will not, however, have the opportunity to interact with the presenter during these viewings as you will during the live event.
Non-members: you will have the ability to purchase the courses and CE (excluding Dr. Nicola Finley’s presentation) in the ABMP Education Center after the live event date.
