A note from Brittany

Hi, my name is Brittany Mahalick (MS, CGC 🙌🏽) and I started The CEU Shop to offer a new way for genetic counselors to earn NSGC-approved Category 1 CEUs. The idea is that you can get cozy on the couch with a good book or listen to an audiobook on your commute and knock out some Category 1 CEUs at the same time!

When I started The CEU Shop, this was my only work. Now, I am employed full-time elsewhere, so Cory McHale (MC, CGC 🙌🏽) now runs The CEU Shop on a part-time basis. We both want this style of continuing ed to exist so we are continuing it for the GC community, but are no longer able to offer expedited certificates or quick email TATs. Our book clubs are still great option when you aren’t in a big hurry and can wait until the end of the next month for your certificate.

Happy Reading,
Brittany

What GC’s are saying

As an avid reader, I’m so excited that this CEU option is now available. The format of a well-written book allowed me to dive into the topic in a way that an hour-long webinar never could. Having the quiz questions ahead of time also helped me reflect on each chapter as I read and double-check my understanding before moving on. I highly recommend the CEU Shop!

– Jo Becerra, MS, CGC

I’m so grateful for this CEU option. How wonderful to combine a personal interest in reading with a professional interest in genetics & healthcare. Truly among my most enjoyed CEUs earned!

– Tessa Field, MS, CGC

I found ‘Legacy’ to be compelling and highly informative…. As the director of a genetic counselling program, probably the most impactful take-home message for me was the added burden that educational institutions place on students and faculty from underrepresented groups to “fix” the problem that others have created. The mentorship demands on such faculty are undervalued and take them away from work that will help their academic advancement.

-Jennifer Fitzpatrick, MS, CGC, McGill University

Why choose The CEU Shop Book Clubs

CEUs Certificates

Your CEUs are “earned” on the date that you complete the program, and issued by NSGC within their portal during the next month. This is not an instant CEU program.

Read along with the quiz

Stay focused as you read by completing the quiz as you go. As soon as you purchase the course you are emailed a copy of the final quiz to use as you read.
