MLA members who read preselected IRP articles or a self-selected professional journal article and complete the IRP article analysis application will receive one MLA CE contact hour for each article read.

Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP)

A maximum of 3 contact hours per year from the IRP can be applied towards a member’s AHIP application or renewal. This comes to a total of no more than 15 contact hours per five-year credentialing period.
