Are there any low cost options for completing continuing competence requirements?
Yes. For example, 1) completing the Jurisprudence Exercise I or II has no cost, is required and earns one point for each exercise completed, 2) Working in a clinical practice earns points (depending on the number of hours worked) with no additional cost or time away from the clinic, 3) Serving as a Clinical Instructor earns points with no cost or time away from the clinic, 4) attending certain types of facility based/workplace education earns points without cost or time off, 5) a Self Assessment/Reflective Practice Exercise can be accomplished during personal time and helps you develop a plan for your ongoing continuing competence. For continuing education there are many low cost options available on-line, via audio-conference and home study. Searching out these many and varied options is easily done via the APTA website, North Carolina and other state chapters of the APTA, North Carolina AHEC’s, Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy or through a search engine on the internet.
