The Board of Directors and staff of NCFADS are pleased to offer the 2023 Summer School in a completely virtual format.

Participants will be able to earn up to 30 hours, dependent upon their registration option and sessions attended. 

The sessions will include many of the required types of content for credentialing, such as HIV, ethics, clinical supervision, and several subspecialty credits that NCASPPB requires. We will offer our usual types of professional credits as well.

Since this year’s school is a fully virtual experience, participants will be able to register based on the TOTAL credit hours they require, as there are not pre-determined tracks during this school – making this school a truly flexible experience for students.

The 2023 NCFADS Summer School begins on Monday, July 24th at 8:30 a.m., and concludes Thursday, July 27th at 4:15 p.m. Each session must be attended in its entirety to receive credit, as a survey link will be posted during each session for attendance confirmation.

The Foundation Board and Staff thank you for your interest in the NCFADS Schools. If you have any additional questions, please contact our Interim Executive Director, Virginia Johnson, at ExecutiveDirector@ncfads.org
