Renewal candidate must have a minimum of 1000 practice hours related to your role as an advanced diabetes manager and must be completed within the 5 years preceding the postmark on your renewal application submission. Faculty can use hours of direct clinical supervision of students for clinical practice. The direct clinical supervision must be in the certification specialty.
You will be asked, on the application, to provide the institution, supervisor, start/end date and clinical practice hours for the 1,000 total clinical hours you are reporting. Only candidates selected for audit will be asked to provide supporting documentation to verify the information provided in the application.

If you have completed the renewal requirements when you start the application, the system will allow you to complete the renewal application earlier than your expiration time. Keep in mind that applications can be open for only 90 days. If not completed, the application will not be accepted, and you will have to resubmit the application.
For example, if your BC-ADM certification expires at the end of the year, and you have completed all of the renewal requirements stated in the BC-ADM handbook, such as 1,000 practice hours, etc., you can renew any time in that year. The new certificate will be valid starting the first of the following year even if you complete the renewal early.
We advise candidates to apply up to 6 months in advance of their credential expiration and minimum of 30 days in advance, if possible.

For example, John Doe’s current cycle is from 12/31/2022 through 12/31/2027 ends. John decided to be proactive and complete the renewal process early instead of leaving it to the last minute. For example, John’s next/new cycle starts 12/31/2022 through 12/31/2027.
Interpretation: If John submits his completed application in the early months of 2027, such as 3/31/2027, John may include CE up to five years prior – track CEs back up to 3/31/2022. That said, John could not count the CEs if they were reported in the previous five-year cycle (cannot “double dip” the CEs). Thus, the CE must be completed within this timeframe.
