The NBCRNA CPC Program allows for CRNAs to earn Class B Credits by listening to podcasts; this episode tells you how.
The National Board of Certification & Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA) recognizes anesthesia-related podcasts, like Anesthesia Guidebook, as valid sources of Class B credit in their Continued Professional Certification (CPC) Program that all CRNAs participate in. Class B credits are designed to encourage professional development and CRNAs must obtain 40 hours of Class B credit every 4-year cycle of the CPC Program. If you follow Anesthesia Guidebook, you’ll easily get 10 hours of content each year and all you have to do is claim your credit – FOR FREE – with NBCRNA! The podcast tells you how and the PDFs below show you how. Earning Class B credit has never been easier!

Earl, Thanks for your question. You simply fill in the titles of the shows you’ve listened to and how many minutes/hours those shows were on the NBCRNA’s Class B Reporting Document for “Non-Prior Approved and/or Non-Prior Assessed CE” and submit the form. You do not need an additional certificate to prove you listened to the show. NBCRNA will actually take your word for it on this one. They would only check your documentation for Class A/Class B credits if you were audited and with over 50,000 CRNAs in the nation, they simply don’t have the time or resources to drill down to verify credits from every CRNA (which is what they told me when I interviewed them for episode 43 of From the Head of the Bed). It’s not typical for any podcast provider to offer certificates for listening to shows so it would be an unreasonable expectation for NBCRNA to ask for something like that. I hope this response helps. Thanks for listening to the show!! – Jon
Greetings. I have a library of Audio Digest CDs that I never got credit for. Can I listen to them and claim class B credit also? Thanks, and thanks for all you have done to provide this website!

Yes, you should be able to do that – for Class B credit.
