Summary For Public Comment on Policy 82.07
The National Registry Board of Directors has proposed updates to the Accepted Education & Documentation Policy to provide additional clarity and consistency regarding continuing education requirements for recertification, reentry, and state-licensed entry certification pathways.
The proposed updates would:
- Clearly define all applications the policy applies to
- Clarify the timeframe in which continuing education for specific certification pathways must be obtained
- Include a broader definition of acceptable education, including state-mandated continuing education and Clinician safety and well-being courses
- Clarify which types of education are not accepted within National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) components
