As a Board Certified Pediatric Clinical Specialist, I find this certification requirement excessive and not necessary for me to evaluate and treat children whether they are in Early Intervention, Medicaid insured or utilizing my services under any insurance policy.  Because I also work with a pediatric service, I was "required" to do the modules and be certified if I wanted to continue to work with this group.  I am certified but am concerned that there were several errors in the modules that deal with development!  As a taxpayer, I am concerned that Medicaid funds are being used to update these modules, monitor who is certified and keep up with the everchanging personnel who will be servicing these children.  This regulation is not necessary!
