I have the ABAs Cochlear Implant Specialty Certification in Addition to Board Certification in Audiology. How Does the Two-Tier System Work in Relationship to the CI Specialty Certification?
All ABA certificants will have to meet the new continuing education requirements, as outlined above, for recertifications after January 1, 2008. The only additional requirement for those holding the CI specialty is that 3.0 continuing education hours (or 30 clock hours) of the total 6.0 continuing education hours (or 60 clock hours) must pertain to cochlear implants. These 3.0 continuing education hours pertaining to CIs, can be either at the Tier 1 or Tier 2 level.
