- At least 20 of the 40 are formal: postgraduate courses, workshops, seminars, professional meetings, presenting or publishing.
- One contact hour is 50 minutes.
- Providing therapy, supervising, personal-growth workshops and service to professional associations do not count.
- Keep the record of every hour for four years; the committee may audit it.
- The two hours of suicide assessment, referral, treatment and management training are a condition of first licensure, not of renewal.
