The Board of Governors of the American Board of Audiology™ recently refined its policy regarding the types of presentations that will meet the ABA three-hour ethics requirement for recertification.
In precisely defining the types of presentations that will meet the ABA’s ethics requirement for recertification, the ABA Board recently approved the following policy:
Continuing education activities that directly pertain to ethics may be counted towards the ABA 3 hour ethics requirement per three-year certification period. Presentation abstracts must clearly indicate that audiology ethics are a significant part of the subject matter. Likely candidates include activities such as:
- Scope of practice
- Fair billing practices
- Confidentiality
- HIPAA
- Other topics directly related to professional codes of ethics (deemed appropriate by ABA)
The ABA Ethics has final authority concerning which activities are acceptable for ABA ethics hours.
Please make a note of this as you are earning your continuing education hours for recertification. For more information about ABA recertification, visit the recertification section of the site.
