Continuing Education for Therapists
Continuing education classes are an important part of professional development. As health care providers, it is important to stay current on the newest developments and trends in your field. Finding the time and opportunity to benefit from continuing education classes can be tough, however. To help their clients, American Traveler Allied offers a number of therapist continuing education online classes at no cost to you. American Traveler Allied offers a broad range of free professional development courses for physical therapists, occupational therapists, and respiratory therapists. Physical therapists can take courses in anything from functional knee bracing for sports to Hepatitis C. Occupational therapists might be interested in preparing professional presentations or cultural competence. Respiratory therapists can find classes on sleep apnea or the respiratory effects of cocaine, among many more.
Not only is continuing education important for your individual professional growth, it is often a requirement for state licensure renewal. Specific details and requirements vary from state to state, and so it is important for therapists to be aware of the licensure requirements for their state and their specific needs. Contact your state licensing board with any questions you may have about your specific continuing education requirements and needs. In Florida, for example, occupational therapists must complete a total of 26 hours before 2011, but certain classes, such as Prevention of Medical Error and Florida Law, are specifically required. Make sure you are well aware of your requirements.
If there are American Traveler Allied courses in which you are interested, contact your state licensing board for approval. Most American Traveler Allied courses are designed for approval in Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, and Texas, but even these states may have specific regulations. Once you have received approval from the state board, contact your American Traveler Allied recruiter to get started.
