Additional Considerations – Ethics and Boundaries
Be advised: Michigan Board of Chiropractic Administrative Rule 338.12041(1)(b) states: “Credit for a continuing education program or activity that is identical to or substantially identical to a program or activity for which the licensee has already earned credit during the license cycle shall not be granted.” Be aware of this Rule, if you have already taken an ethics and boundaries course through the MAC during your licensure cycle. If you are not sure if you have already taken an ethics and boundaries course during your licensure cycle, contact the MAC at info@chiromi.com or (517) 367-2225.
Ethics and Boundaries credits are available online in “related products” to those who still need these hours for your current licensure period.
These rates are above and beyond convention rates because doctors who attend all 15 hours of the Express Convention and then attend the Ethics and Boundaries webinar will receive a total of 17 credit hours.
If you only need a total of 15 hours from the Express Convention, and you have already achieved the 15 live hours needed for license renewal, contact the MAC at (517) 367-2225 or info@chiromi.com to make arrangements.
Important Information – Implicit Bias Training
There has been an important change in the State of Michigan’s Administrative Rule governing Implicit Bias Training for health care professionals. Moving forward, online programs for implicit bias training no longer need to be live and allow for synchronous interaction between the presenter and attendees.
In other words, online, on-demand programs for implicit bias training are now accepted by the State of Michigan.
The MAC website has a 2-hour course and then two 1-hour courses for your convenience at a low price.
