Currently: RDs, NDTR, RNs, and NDs have approval from their boards.

Needed Experts provides Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs) for CDR credentialed practitioners, including Registered Dietitians (RD), Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN), and Nutrition and Dietetics Technicians, Registered (NDTR).

Needed Experts is also an approved provider by the California Board of Registered Nursing (Provider #1816) to offer CEs to RNs, which may also apply to NPs and Licensed Midwives/Certified Professional Midwives. Please check with your board.

Needed Experts has been approved by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, which is recognized by all regulated jurisdictions as an approver of continuing education for licensed naturopathic doctors who graduate from CNME accredited naturopathic medical programs, except for Oregon. Oregon Licensee: Needed will provide the necessary requirements for you to submit an individual application to the OBNM for this CE to be approved.

If you hold a different credential and are interested in continuing education, please contact us at practitioners@thisisneeded.com. We're exploring options for additional credentialing bodies and would love to hear from you.

You can also reach out to your board to see whether this meets your credentialing requirements. Some boards accept activities approved by the CDR, California Board of Registered Nurses, and the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.

No. Needed Experts is a free, independent educational resource. You do not need to purchase or use Needed products to access episodes or earn continuing education credits.

Earning CEs/CPEUs through Needed Experts is straightforward:
‍
1. Listen: Choose an episode from our library and listen to the full conversation.
2. Complete Quiz: Access the quiz and critical thinking tool linked on the episode page.
3. Receive: Upon successful completion, you'll immediately receive your certificate.

Most practitioners complete the quiz and critical thinking tool in less than 10 minutes. There's no time limit, so you can take as long as you need.

You can retake the quiz as many times as needed. We encourage you to review the episode content and learning objectives before retrying.

Each episode has a specific expiration date listed on the episode page and certificate. Continuing Education earned before the expiration date remains valid for your credential renewal cycle, per CDR requirements.

Certificates are electronically delivered upon successful completion of the quiz and critical thinking tool.

If you completed the requirements but didn't receive your certificate, please contact us at practitioners@thisisneeded.com.
