Attended the BSF April 2018 ASD workshop and
need to report it to CE Broker? Here is the process for
licensed health care providers to report CE credit:
If you are a health care professional licensed in Florida who attended the April BSF continuing education (CE) workshop on Autism Spectrum Disorder with Rob Coben, Ph.D., the following information about receiving CE credit toward license renewal will be of interest to you.
In 2012 the Florida Dept. of Health (FDH) changed its license renewal process to include a requirement that CE credit be posted to their electronic tracking system. The system is administered through CE Broker and the basic tracking service is now free.
BSF CE programs are co-sponsored by our national organization, the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB), which is an APA approved CE provider. This enables our workshop participants to receive credit if their profession accepts APA approved CE programs, as do the Florida 490 (psychologists) and 491 (LMHC’s, LCSW’s, MFT’s) licensing boards. Other licensed professionals should check with their boards to determine if APA approved CE credit is acceptable.
To receive license renewal credit for attendance at BSF meetings, you will need to report your attendance yourself. The CE Broker online form makes the process quite easy. Here are the steps for BSF program participants to follow when reporting their CE credit:
