| CE Registry Service | |||||
| This service helps MaMHCA members who are LMHCs accurately maintain their CE records. Developed at the request of many of our members, the CE Registry will maintain an accurate record of CE activities and appraise you of the status of your CE file each August. We will prepare a full listing for the Board in the event that you are audited at license renewal, and also make your CE records available to employers, MCOs and other entities at your request. Contact us for information. | |||||
| Licensure Renewal and Audit Preparation Workshops | |||||
| Licensure Renewals due by December 31, 2007. This is your first, early reminder that December 31, 2007 is license renewal time for all LMHCs. As in the past, the Division of Professional Licensure will conduct a random Continuing Education audit of 20% of all license holders. If you are audited you will have to show evidence of all your continuing education credits for this license cycle. LMHCs are required to take 30 hours of Continuing Education every two-year license cycle. If you have been licensed within this two-year cycle your CE requirements will be pro-rated. MaMHCA provides a CE Registry Service to help individuals organize and maintain their CE records accurately. Call the MaMHCA office for your CE Registry Packet and/or for the Continuing Education Guidelines. Next workshop Process for obtaining a Waiver |
