After reviewing the proposed changes to CEU requirements in VA, I support the removal of the clinical requirement.

I do not support mandating all CEUs be acquired in person. This puts an undue burden on the practitioner with regards to expense needs to travel (hotels, car, etc).  It is also limiting the knowledge that can be acquired to serve our patient bases.  Not every topic is covered in person and in a location/timeframe that would suit.  Being able to take online courses opens up many more opportunities to learn about topics that actually serve our patient bases instead of just completing a requirement.
