PDTO has great news! The office is now CE Broker approved which means there is a more convenient way to obtain nursing contact hours. We offer a quarterly “Lunch and Learn” series for nurses who wish to earn Contact Hours used to renew their licenses.  The series is provided mainly as a benefit to UM nurses that are non-hospital based.

 Courses are offered as Computer Based Learning, live workshops or a combination of the two.  Two-part classes provide the participant with an introduction and overview of areas covered in the live presentation; live classes provide opportunity for experiential learning, and CBLs provide the convenience of scheduling and learning in the comfort of your own surroundings.  Classes are also videotaped and converted into CBLs for those who are unable to attend the live presentations.

Course schedules and online registration are available in ULearn.  In the event you are unable to attend a class previously registered for, please remember to un-register.

Other online opportunities for contact hours are now available!

The Professional Development and Training Office (PDTO) has purchased access to an  extensive contact hours library for University of Miami nurses. This library contains topics in the following areas: Critical Care Nursing, Cultural Competency, Disease States, Emergency Nursing, Career Advancement, Obstetrics Nursing, Oncology  Nursing, Patient Care Basics, Perioperative Nursing, Pharmacotherapy, and Special Populations.

You will have unlimited access to this library until May 15, 2008. If you fail to complete any trainings before that date, your department will charged a $35.00 fee. In order to receive contact hours credit, you must self-report all trainings in ULearn by May 15, 2008.

In order to gain access to this library of courses, you must complete 2 computer-based  learning modules (CBLs) in ULearn. These modules are: Contact Hour Library –      Module I and Contact Hour Library – Module II. Click here to access these      modules now.
