CASC certificants can earn credits they need and receive timely guidance from ASC experts
Did you know that Surgical Information Systems (SIS) is an approved provider of administrator education units (AEUs) by the Board of Ambulatory Surgery Certification? This means SIS is able to offer educational opportunities that enable ASC professionals pursuing or holding the Certified Administrator Surgery Center (CASC) certification credential to earn AEUs required to achieve or maintain their CASC credential.
In 2023, SIS hosted several webinars that qualified for CASC AEU credits. Attendees of these programs were able to earn their AEUs, but there's good news if you missed any of the webinars: AEUs can also be earned by watching the on-demand programs. SIS webinars are hosted by ASC industry experts, so whether you participate in a program live or via recording, you will come away with continuing education credits and knowledge that will help you improve the performance of your surgery center.
