● MQA Audit News:
Dear Associations:
I have recently met with Secretary François to discuss the MQA plans to
roll out a 100% continuing education audit beginning in 2006. We have
heard from many of our stakeholders (licensees, board members,
legislators, and association leaders) with concerns about the impact this will
have. We have taken into consideration the concerns we've heard and
determined a means to allay those concerns while fulfilling our statutory
requirements to have an electronic continuing education tracking system
and to determine compliance with renewal continuing education
requirements.
Licensees who have used C.E. Broker to track their hours and who have
met the continuing education requirements to renew their licenses will
not be subject to an audit.
Again, we will not conduct a 100% CE audit as previously proposed.
Secretary François endorses the continuation of our current business
process of conducting percentage audits.
Please encourage your members to maintain their continuing education
proof of attendance-it is required by law.
Again, thank you for communicating your concerns to us and please
continue to let us know how we can better serve you.
Sincerely
Lucy C. Gee, M.S., Director
Division of Medical Quality Assurance
