No one will be allowed to renew if the CE Broker tracking system does not show the proper number of credits for renewal.

Attendees participating in CME activities hosted by the Louisiana Chapter of AAP will have their CME credits uploaded into CE Broker system as part of the data processing procedure, usually within two work weeks of evaluation completion.
