It was another exciting year in 2023 for continuing education at ABMP! We offered several online events—free for everyone in the profession—including the ABMP CE Summit: Sidelying, featuring Allison Denney of Rebel Massage. We also added 40 new CE hours to the ABMP Education Center on anatomy/pathology, business, ethics, palpation, self-care, and techniques.
“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 2023. It’s moving to think of the ripple effect that knowledge will have on their practices, clients, and the profession.”
