What is the appropriate classification for earned CE hours beyond the base requirement?

The classification of earned Continuing Education (CE) hours beyond the base requirement as "Conference/Convention" is appropriate because these additional hours are typically acquired through participation in professional gatherings where relevant topics are discussed, workshops are held, and networking opportunities are generated. Conferences often provide a range of sessions, workshops, and presentations that cover various aspects of psychology, including advanced practices, new research findings, and updates on licensing requirements.

This classification emphasizes the importance of ongoing education and engagement within the professional community, helping psychologists stay current with trends and innovations in their field. While the other categories—Clinical Skills, Personal Development, and Ethical Practice—address specific areas of focus in professional development, the context of earning CE hours at conferences directly aligns with the collaborative, broad-reaching nature of such events.
