Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

Section XLV-2747 - Documentation Procedure

A. Documentation of satisfaction of the continuing education requirement prescribed by this Subchapter need not accompany an application for licensure renewal; however, an applicant shall certify the satisfaction of such requirements.

B. A record or certificate of attendance shall be maintained for at least four years from the date of completion of a continuing education program.

C. The board shall randomly select for audit no fewer than 3 percent of the licensees each year for an audit of continuing education activities. In addition, the board or advisory committee has the right to audit any questionable documentation of activities. Verification shall be submitted within thirty days of the notification of audit. A licensee's failure to notify the board of a change of mailing address will not absolve the licensee from the audit requirement.

D. Any continuing education not presumptively approved pursuant to §2745 of this Chapter, shall be referred to the advisory committee for its evaluation and recommendations prior to licensure denial or renewal.

E. If the advisory committee determines that a continuing education program does not qualify for recognition by the board or does not qualify for the number of units claimed by the applicant, the board shall give notice of such determination to the applicant. An applicant may appeal the advisory committee's recommendation to the board by written request delivered to the board within 10 days of such notice. The board's decision with respect to approval and recognition of such program or activity shall be final.
