Additional CE Requirements for DA
 

I am in agreement with Terry.   The CE courses now available provide quality evidence based and practice skills within the DA environment and address our advancing professional needs.  It seems an additional, unnecessary requirement and another hoop to jump through in order to see direct access clients.  For those of us who hold other professional certifications also requiring CEUs, this  additional physical therapy CE requirement becomes a deterent for maintaining (or for that matter, obtaining) DA certification.  I encourage the board to reconsider this proposed requirement.
