Are BOC CEU Requirements Missing the Mark?

Should courses focused on domain 5 be a CEU requirement to help ATs in the slump of our profession?

What would it take to have the BOC require CEU's directly related to Domain 5?

If this is where ATs are struggling to gain traction in respect of others understanding our role, why wouldn't we start focusing our attention to these critical characteristics and make them required in our CEU reporting period?

Domain V: Health care administration and professional responsibility

There are four tasks in Healthcare Administration and Professional Responsibility. They address quality improvement, policy development, legal compliance, and documentation.

Must have knowledge of:

1. Methods of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting qualitative and quantitative data

2. Benchmarking

3. Project and program management

4. Resources available for adapting policies and procedure

5. Job expectations, personal goals, and priorities (e.g., work-life balance, job satisfaction)

6. Organizational resources available for professional development and personal support

7. Role of professional collaboration

8. Leadership and management styles and theories

9. Evidence-based principles and practices

10. Post-event assessment techniques

11. Goal-setting principles and practices

12. Appropriate software and technologies available

I am sure that CAATE will not be implementing these as requirements into the ATEP programming anytime soon.
