A Note about CEU Applications

Please note that, due to recent staff transitions, the timeline for the approval of CEU application has been extended to 70 days from submission.  MEAC staff will make every effort to review and respond to applications quickly; please email Jessica Baynes at ceu@meacschools.org if you have additional questions.

Continuing Education (CEU)

One of MEAC’s roles is to evaluate continuing education (CE) and distance continuing education for midwives and other women’s health care providers. MEAC acts to “approve as appropriate” the CE programs that individual sponsors and national or state midwifery organizations offer to midwives and related professionals.

Program sponsors who receive MEAC approval for their intended offerings then award to participants the continuing education units (CEU’s) or contact hours. MEAC does not award the CEU certificate or proof of attendance, or ‘accredit’ CE programs. It approves organizations to award CEU’s for their CE programs after review of their applications.
