Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
Section XLV-3349 - Documentation Procedure
A. Annual documentation and certification of satisfaction of the continuing education requirement prescribed by these rules shall accompany a polysomnographic technologist's renewal application in a format specified by the board.
B. A polysomnographic technologist shall maintain a record of certification and satisfaction of attendance for at least five years from the date of completion of the continuing professional education program.
C. The board shall randomly select for audit no fewer than three percent of licensees each year for an audit of continuing education activities. In addition, the board may audit any questionable documentation of activities. Verification shall be submitted within 30 days of the notification of audit. A licensee's failure to notify the board of a change of mailing address will not absolve the licensee from the audit requirement.
D. Any certification of continuing professional education not presumptively approved by the board pursuant to these rules, or pre-approved by the board in writing, may be referred to the committee for its evaluation and recommendations.
E. If the committee or the board determines that a continuing professional education program or activity certified by an applicant for renewal does not qualify for recognition by the board or does not qualify for the number of continuing education credits claimed by the applicant, the board shall give notice of such determination to the applicant. An applicant may appeal the recommendation by written request delivered to the board within ten days of such notice. The board's decision with respect to approval and recognition of any such program or activity shall be final.
