See the "Events" page for a link to the ACE365 website for the Annual Convention and Expo in Austin, Texas from August 4-7, 2010.In May of 2010, AHDI modified its recredentialing policies, requiring CMTs to seek continuing education credits solely from sources providing level 2 content – ie, sources that provide clinical, technological, medicolegal, and/or professional development content that is appropriately challenging for the recredentialing acute-care CMT. Attached please find the AHDI Recredentialing Resource Guide that can also be found on the AHDI website.
If you are a CMT, please take the time to read this attachment: AHDI Recredentialing Resource Guide. It is important to note while your regional/state and local components may offer presentations that focus primarily on students and RMTs, only those meeting the new May 2010 CE requirements will count toward your recertification. This will raise the bar significantly. After all, the point of earning continuing education credits is to improve your core knowledge, not just accrue a minimum of 30 credits to keep your CMT.
For our part on the regional/state and local levels, we should continue to provide presentations that will interest all skill levels. The CEC verification form provided at our future symposia will include only those sessions that are credit-worthy. MAHDI wants you to be aware of this policy change, so you will be prepared as you plan your CECs prior to the end of your current cycle. Furthermore, this resource guide lists a multitude of opportunities to earn level 2 CECs, not just face-to-face meetings.
If you know any CMTs who are not members of AHDI, please share this important information with them. If you are a local component leader, please share this information with your CMT members, if they are not members of AHDI. Thank you.
