Hello,
I am reading your MOC guidelines document:
Could you please help me understand how I would document participation in an online study course, for example, like the ACLS Training Center which provides ACLS courses. What type of documentation would be necessary for them to provide me? Will a receipt of my completion and a description of the course be sufficient?
Thank you,
Will
