Continuing Education Units (CEU's)
Continuing Education Units (CEU's) are required for physicians or surgeons to renew their license and certification. Once a surgeon becomes a surgeon, he or she must still take additional amount of hours of education in a specific health career during a period of time. This varies from state to state. For example, Texas requires a surgeon to take 24 CEUs for one year. But in states, like Florida, one 20 CEUs are require for one year.
