Re: [Histonet] CEU's
I don't see why not. Obtaining a QIHC is 12 points.
(Of course, you already HAVE the QIHC, BEFORE signing up for the CMP. So I
don't think it would count for you. Only if you obtained advanced
certification AFTER signing up for the CMP. I'm guessing.)
But remember, I'm not the authority. ASCP Board of Registry is. If anyone is
curious or wants information specific to their situation, call 312-738-1336,
press "O" for operator, and ask for the BOR.
