Recertify Your CDI

Below are instructions on how to update your contact information and report your Recertification Credits.

Congratulations on becoming Certified in Disease Intervention (CDI)! You can begin reporting 30 credits that fall within your current 3-year period. Do not limit yourself to the helpful resources listed below. Qualifying activities for recertification credits include continuing education and professional development opportunities. Take the time to explore activities that interest you.

• Activities must relate public health and can be from any organization/provider. There are many options for finding recertification credits. These resources can help you in your search: TRAIN Learning Network, Public Health Learning Navigator, Public Health Training Center Navigator, and UniversiDI.
  
  
• Review the Recertification Activity Guide for a list of activities and number of hours for each.

• NOTE: Applying for recertification is not allowed at this time. You will receive information on submitting the recertification application once it is available.

Below are instructions on how to report your recertification credits:

1. Log into CertCentral. Note: You already have a CertCentral account, please do not create a new one. Email us at [email protected] if you are having issues login in. Once you have logged in, select your initials in the top right, then click on ‘Account’, then click on the ‘NBPHE Connect Portal Account’ link. If you are prompted to login, use the same username and password as your CertCentral account. 

2. Next, click on “Dashboard” to the left and select “View Recertification Details.”

3. You are now in your Certification Dashboard! The “Recertification Progress Bar” indicates the total number of credits required to recertify. As a reminder, you need to report 30 credits for every 3-year recertification cycle. Next, click on “Report Recertification Credits.”

4. Enter the Start Date for the first activity and select “Recertification Activity” under category.

5. Select the “Activity” from the dropdown. The system will provide guidance on the number of hours that can be reported per activity type. Enter the “Completion Date.”

6. Enter the “Name,” the “Provider Name,” provide detailed description of the activity, and input the number of credits. Click on “Add Another” to add additional activities to report in one application. Once done, select “Submit.”

7. To view historical credits submitted, go back to “View Recertification Details.” Click on “Filter Reported Credits,” select “All” under Cycle, and click the blue “Search” icon. You are also able to view credits by 3-year cycles, “Search by Title” for a reported credit, and “Export to Excel”.

• Note: The “Used for Renewal” category will be listed as “No” until your recertification application is approved by NBPHE staff. Also, please ignore the “No topics currently applied” at the bottom of each credit entry.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact NBPHE staff at [email protected].
