How long does it take to receive approval to begin a new VN or PT program?
The complete approval process takes a minimum of nine months. The time spent on curriculum development and review may be significant depending on the expertise of the writer. After approval of a program director who meets the qualifications delineated in regulation, the assigned NEC meets with the director for a comprehensive orientation to the respective practice act and rules and regulations. Written guidelines are given to the program director to assist in developing a curriculum that complies fully with Article 5 of the Rules and Regulations. A realistic timeline for submission of program materials is suggested based upon the program director’s projected date to start the initial class. The entire curriculum package must be initially submitted for review far enough in advance to afford review by the NEC and for revisions as necessary. The curriculum packet must be submitted in FINAL FORM to the NEC by the 15th day of the second month PRIOR to Board consideration of the proposal. Su
