This varies greatly depending on the spcecific healthcare field. Many national organizations certify either contuing education CEU providers or courses (such as the NBCC for counseling, NAADAC for addiction counselors, APA for psychologists, NASW for social workers, AMA for physicians). Many state licensure boards choose to accept education certified by a related national association, but some do not. In some cases, the provider must get approval for the course, or to offer unlimited courses, directly from the state board in question. This is common with many boards in California and some in Florida. I hope this answers your question - you can find more about mental health accreditations from the CEU Hours link below and there is also a link to the AMA provided Continuing Medical Education.

St Thomas's Hospital, London used to have one of the leading authorities - Professor Kinmonth. I think they still have a professorial unit in lymphatics.

I think you have to be certified to give it. When I took the course my employer contracted someone to come in and give the course.

In my state care plans are written on an individual basis by a team of the nursing home staff including, but not limited to the doctor, Social Service Director, Director of Nursing, Activities Director. To the best of my knowledge there is no specific course dealing with lesson plans as those are usually covered in college courses for the different areas of expertise. Our state has guidelines that  must be followed but specifics are not included.\n\nCheck with your state department of health or a local nursing home for more information. The nursing home can not show you someone's care plan (duh) but they can advise you as to how to write one and show you the proper forms used.

Maybe it varies from state to state, or it depends on the policy at the institution where the test is being done. I'm not sure..but I'm an RN who works in Illinois. There does not have to be a physician present in our institution. There used to be a policy that a nurse had to be present, but they recently changed that too. The CT tech just gives the contrast.

Ive never heard of a federal cert, but you can be state certified. Look into Certified Nursing Assistant requirements for your state. You will have to take a short course and a state board exam to become certified. Look into the Red Cross in your area also. I know the red cross has a course. I took it before I went to nursing school.

Call the state licensing board of Minnesota. Chances are if you haven't taken extra continuing education credits, it will no longer be good. Also, depending on the state you intend to practice in, a new board exam may be required.

I think you may have the question worded backwards.  Do you mean, "What type of continuing education is required to comply with your adjuster license.  The answer is:  It depends on the state in which you are licensed.  I am a claims adjuster in TX.  The Texas Department of Insurance only allows certain types of CE (Continuing Ed) classes as credit for my mandatory 2 year requirements.  I must get 30 hours of CE in every year, of which 15 must be actual classroom, where the rest can be Internet, or correspondence.  Plus, 2 hours of that must be focused on ethics.  \n\nLike I said, every state is different.  You must visit with your state dept of insurance to find out the requirements.  But you must actually HAVE an adjusters license if you want your CE hours to count.

Why would you like to know something about something so hopelessly quack?  Homeopathic doctors are not real doctors, so there is no true regulation over their exams and the marks required.  The training among them varies grossly.  There is no set standard, and the board is horrendous.  The practioners are doctors who for various reasons have turned to homeopathy, passing the written exam and then an oral exam.  Plenty of them have revoked or lapsed liscences as real doctors, M.D.s.  Many MDs and the Natonal Council Against Health Fraud believes homeopathy should be regulated under the same standards as conventional medicine.  Homeopathy would not stand up if forced to exist under the same scrutiny that other medicines do under the FDA.\n\n"The 1995 retail sales of homeopathic medicines in the United States were estimated at $201 million and growing at a rate of 20 percent a year, according to the American Homeopathic Pharmaceutical Association. The number of homeopathic practitioners in the United States has increased from fewer than 200 in the 1970s to approximately 3,000 in 1996. [Note by Dr. Barrett: I doubt that this figure is accurate. The number of medical and osteopathic physicians practicing homeopathy is unknown but is probably only a few hundred. A 1998 survey of chiropractors found that 53% of those who responded said that they prescribed homeopathic products to patients. If that figure is representative, about 20,000 were doing this.]\n\nWhen looking for a homeopathic practitioner, it's important to find someone who is licensed, according to the National Center for Homeopathy. Each state has its own licensing requirements. "Whether that person is a medical doctor or a physician's assistant or a naturopathic physician, I feel that anyone who's treating people who are sick needs to have medical training," says Jacobs. [Note by Dr. Barrett: Since homeopathic products don't work, going to a homeopathic practitioner makes very little sense.]"
