The idea of getting CEUs is usually a really exciting one for me! I miss soaking up all of the info that amazes me about this field like I got to do every day in grad school. But then, once I'm in that auditorium, my grad school PTSD kicks in and I'm reminded of the parts that I didn't love so much too. My eye lids get a little heavy and my ADD kicks in.
So, I'm a BIG fan of online CEUs! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the ASHA Convention and I can't wait to see everyone in LA this fall, but for the summer, I'm going to soak up all of the info while poolside with my pup!
Here are 4 ways to get [almost] 20 FREE CEUs this summer! Get 'em while they're hot!!

I hope y'all find something that fuels your fire for this field! I'm truly amazed by the science of what we do and the impact we make in the lives of our patients. I was awe-struck throughout all of undergrad and grad school as I learned just how incredible our work is and CEUs help me find my fuel again when I'm starting to feel "the burn."
Enjoy the rest of your summer and enjoy your free CEUs!
