The Florida O&P Board has set up their own CE approval process. 30 CEU's
are required per two year period to maintain Florida License. They charge
$250.00 to approve (they keep the money if they deny approval) you as a CE
provider. ABC charges only $50.00 for the entire U.S.
>
I would like to know what other States, that have licensure and an O&P
Board, are doing about CE. Are they just accepting ABC approved CEU's?

1. Does the list feel that by adding another hurdle to the O&P CE Provider
that they will just not pay the tax and just stay out of Florida?

2. Does the list feel that the Florida O&P's will not attend CE
opportunities outside the State because these CE providers probably won't
bother with Fla. approval?

3. Does the list feel that Florida O&P's will fall behind in broad medical
knowledge because they won't attend rehab or other non O&P specific CE
opportunities that have not bothered to get Florida O&P Board approval?

Your answers will be presented to the Florida O&P Board.
