This article covers how course completions can be reported to ASHA and the requirements for those completions to be submitted and matched.
For SLP subscribers, you have two choices:
- Submit the completions yourself.
- Request that Medbridge send completions on your behalf.
Requirements
In either case, your ASHA registry information must be in your account.
Your account must include the following:
- Your First and Last Name
- Discipline must say SLP
- Your SLP License Number

If you DO want Medbridge to submit course completions:
- Select which ASHA information you'd like to provide. Each of the eligibility fields will expand when selected.

Alternative ASHA CEU Eligibility
Only users who meet ASHA's eligibility standards can have completions reported. You must fall under one of the categories shown below.
You will be asked to provide supporting information should ASHA require proof that you are eligible (e.g. license number / organization that issued license, or ASHA ID for sponsoring clinical fellow, or School you are earning your SLP or audiology education from).
If you DO NOT want Medbridge to submit course completions:
If you plan to submit to ASHA for yourself, you need to download your certificate with your SLP license information for your own records.
- Click Certificates.
- Find the certificate you would like to download with your applicable SLP License, and click Download.
I am an existing user, how do I update my current information?
When does Medbridge send in my completion?
We submit completions from our monthly course offerings to ASHA within 45 days after the end of the month your course was completed. Your ASHA CE Registry is updated within 2-3 weeks of submission.
ASHA providers may only submit course completions for an offering once. We provide a 2 week window for users to update their ASHA reporting preference if for some reason they were not able to complete the form prior to course completion.
How do I change my reporting choice?
You can update your ASHA reporting option by selecting Licenses or Tracker from the dashboard menu then click the pencil to edit.
Please check your profile - Any users whose profiles are marked "I do not want to earn ASHA CEUs" will not be reported, even if we have ASHA information on file. We will consider your profile to accurately reflect your preferences.
If Medbridge has already reported for the month your course was completed, we recommend printing out the certificates for these courses and keeping them on file for your records. We understand that as an SLP you'd like to see all of your CEUs reported. ASHA has assured us that if you have less than 30 hours reported but attest completion of the needed 30 hours, they will not have an issue as long as you can product the associated certificates.
Maintenance audits are performed by ASHA at the beginning of each cycle. Participants audited are chosen randomly, so SLPs missing 30 hours in the transcript are not more likely to be audited than anyone else.
Otherwise, to update your registry, you will need to submit a Participant Appeal to ASHA to have ASHA-approved courses added. Note: you can only submit an appeal within a year of course completion.
