In today’s rapidly evolving professional landscape, continuing education units (CEUs) are essential for healthcare practitioners, such as physical therapists, athletic trainers, chiropractors, and more, to maintain their licenses and stay competitive. But how do you choose the right CEU provider? Here’s everything you need to know.

Understanding Accreditation

Accreditation is a rigorous process whereby educational programs are evaluated by state and national medical boards and organizations to ensure they meet high-quality standards. Accredited providers ensure your credits are recognized by licensing boards and employers, safeguarding your investment in education.

Major Accrediting Boards & Associations

We are accredited and certified with the following medical boards and associations:

• Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer (BOC): Accredits programs for athletic trainers, ensuring content is evidence-based and relevant to clinical practice.
• State Subchapters of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA): Accrediting bodies for physical therapy courses, emphasizing rigorous academic and clinical standards.
• State Physical Therapy Boards: In some states the state subchapter of the APTA approves continuing education courses. In other states the state Board of Physical Therapy approves courses. It’s a total disaster.
• American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA): Accredits and certifies continuing education courses for Occupational Therapists.
• National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB): Accredits and certifies continuing education courses for Massage Therapists.
• State Chiropractic Boards & Associations: In some states the state chiropractic subchapter approves continuing education courses. In other states the state Board of Chiropractic approves courses.

 

Choosing a provider accredited by these boards, like Intricate Art Spine & Body Solutions, means your CEUs will count towards your professional license renewal, saving you from potential headaches later on.

 

What Proof Should You Ask For?

When considering an online CEU provider, always verify their credentials to avoid costly mistakes. Here’s a simple checklist:

1. Accreditation Status: Ask for proof of current accreditation from recognized boards like BOC, APTA, or NBCE.
2. Course Content Validation: Ensure that the content is regularly reviewed and updated by subject matter experts.
3. Instructor Credentials: Verify that instructors have advanced degrees, substantial clinical experience, or significant expertise in their teaching fields.
4. Feedback and Reviews: Look for genuine student testimonials and reviews to gauge course effectiveness and quality.
5. Certificate Authenticity: Confirm that providers issue certificates immediately after course completion, clearly listing accreditation details and CEU hours.

The Importance of Accreditation

Accredited CEU providers offer assurance that the education you receive meets industry standards and is recognized by state licensing boards. By choosing accredited courses, you:

• Maximize Professional Credibility: Clearly recognized CEUs enhance your resume and professional profile.
• Ensure License Renewal: Accredited courses guarantee acceptance by licensing bodies, avoiding renewal rejections.
• Access High-Quality Education: Accreditation ensures educational content is evidence-based, practical, and within the scope of practice for specific fields of medicine.

• Or $350 one-time yearly payment
• The first free course you get right off the bat is $69
• The other 4 courses in the 5-course series are $199 each. $199 x 4 = $796
• $796 + $69 = $865 value
• $865-$468 (yearly cost for monthly payment for membership) = $397
• $865-$350 (yearly cost for 1-time payment annually) = $515
