Do health care licensees have to subscribe to CE Broker in order to have their license renewed?
No, subscription is not mandatory and is completely voluntary, although Department letters to licensees earlier seemed to imply otherwise, and seemed to tie license renewal with membership in CE Broker. But for now, the Department will check for compliance after a person renews their license. A licensee can and should keep their own records of the CE courses they have taken; in fact, most Board rules require the licensee to keep their CE records for 4 years. CE Course Providers also must keep their attendance and course taker records for 4 years. CE Providers must report their attendance records to CE Broker. If this is done, CE Broker will have a complete transcript for ALL licensees. The Department will then electronically obtain those records from CE Broker, and will be able, after license renewal, to very quickly and simply conduct audits to determine which licensees have failed to take the required CE.
