In reaching the Agreement, what areas were examined by the associations involved?
The associations examined the educational and other requirements expected of each others’ certificate holders, including academic course content, the amount and distribution of clinical practice hours prior to certification being awarded, degree designations, accreditation of academic programs, experience, and assessment mechanisms. This examination resulted in a determination that the four associations have many, but not all, substantially equivalent requirements. Therefore, you will likely have to meet certain additional requirements as described below.
