Honesty where it is tested: records and late entries, license and DEA attestations, billing under federal fraud and abuse law, and conflicts of interest.
Crossings, violations and sexual misconduct; chaperones, gifts, treating family and social media, using AMA, FSMB, NCSBN and AAPA guidance.
Principlism, a seven-step decision model and the AMA, ANA (2025), ADA, APhA and AAPA codes, from EMTALA and resource allocation to board expectations.
How boards judge professionalism: unprofessional conduct, disruptive behavior, impairment, reporting duties, online statements and honest license renewals.
What chaperones can and cannot do, AMA, ACOG and FSMB guidance, named state rules, writing a chaperone policy and complying with a board chaperone condition.
Bias in clinical judgment, algorithms and devices, plus Section 1557, Section 504 and ADA duties after the 2025 and 2026 federal policy changes.
Billing compliance in practice: OIG's seven elements, medical necessity, E/M, incident-to, NCCI edits, audits, overpayments and compensation deals.
Online conduct as a licensing issue: HIPAA de-identification, images and testimonials, DMs, workplace speech, FTC rules, AI and a post-incident plan.
The structure never changes from one course to the next (short lessons, quick checks, a closing 20-question exam, then a certificate and a reflective account). What differs is the U.S. law, rule or code at its core, shown in the last column; each course page lists the full set. Forty-eight courses run 3 hours at US$89, and Professional Standards for Pharmacists runs 2 hours at US$69. Eight courses are written for a single profession, and Controlled Substances is offered to physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists and PAs; every other course is open to all licensees.

If nothing is wrong and you want to sharpen your judgment, start with the course closest to your daily risk. Prescribers and hospital clinicians often pick consent, records or error disclosure; anyone who handles patient data benefits from HIPAA privacy. Clinicians who prescribe or give medicines often add prescribing, controlled substances or medication safety, and hospital teams look at handoffs, sepsis and incident reporting. See the ethics hours guide for how renewal topics vary.
Begin with the complaints course to understand the process, then take the course that matches the allegation, such as boundaries or integrity. Remediation, insight and reflection help you show what you have learned, and the courses on preventing recurrence and rebuilding trust after disciplinary action cover the period once an order is in place. If an order requires a course, check whether it must be approved in advance before you enroll; our board discipline guide explains why.

Yes. Add as many courses as you need to your cart and check out once. Each 3-hour course is US$89 and the 2-hour pharmacist standards course is US$69. Every course has its own 20-question assessment and certificate and stays separate in your account, so you can study them in any order that suits your schedule.
Yes. No course in this catalog is accredited for CE or CME or approved by a state board, and none awards contact hours on its own. If you want to use one toward a requirement, ask your board or employer first whether they will accept education.
They share a format but not content. Each course is written around a different body of U.S. law or professional guidance, with its own cases, knowledge checks and assessment questions. The tables on this page show the main standard behind each one, grouped the same way as the catalog filters.
The courses teach the federal rules and professional codes that apply everywhere, then show how named states differ. You hold a separate license in each state where you practice unless a compact applies, so check the practice act and board rules for each license you hold.
Most board concerns fall under one or more of these 49 courses, from integrity, boundaries and records to prescribing, medication errors or privacy. If yours does not fit, contact us with a short description and we will tell you honestly whether any course is relevant before you buy.
No. Courses are self-paced, so you can read a section, complete its knowledge check and return later. Take the 20-question final assessment once you have worked through all the lessons, then complete the structured reflective account while the learning is still fresh in your mind.
Professional Standards for Pharmacists is a shorter course, designed as 2 hours of study, so it is priced at US$69. The other 48 courses are designed as 3 hours and cost US$89. Apart from length they work the same way: you study at your own pace, answer the checks in each section, need 16 of 20 on the final questions, and finish with a certificate and a structured reflective account.

Lessons, scenarios and assessment questions are written by us for each edition separately, then checked for accuracy, teaching quality and fair assessment before publication.
When a code, standard or law changes, the affected courses are reviewed and updated. Reported errors in legal or regulatory facts are corrected first.
