Each 50 minute contact unit is worth 1 CPD credit.
Therefore consider that a conference which begins at 8:30 am and ends at 5:00 pm would yield the following:
| Minutes | |
| 8:30 to 5:00 pm = 8.5 hours (510 minutes) | 510 |
| Luncheon = 1 hours or 60 minutes | (60) |
| 2 refreshment breaks of 20 minutes each | (40) |
| Contact Minutes (daily) | 410 |
| 410 divided by 50 = | 8 CPDs |
