The National
Asthma Education Certification Board (NAECB) has performed an extensive
investigation regarding the process for recertifying by Continuing Education
Units (CEUs). We are pleased to announce that the Board has approved the option
of utilizing CEUs for recertifying, rather than just by examination alone. The
CEU option is now being offered for the first time to certificants
whose credentials have expired or are about to expire.
The Board has
determined that 35 continuing education units in asthma-related content will
constitute recertification for the AE-C® credential. Please see the official
protocol outlined in the recertification document enclosed. While
recertification by examination is valid for 7 years, recertification by
continuing education units is valid for 5 years. The Board has agreed to
allow all certificants whose credentials are currently expired to apply for
recertification by continuing education units - if they do so by JULY 31,
2014. Any certificant whose credentials are currently expired will need to
recertify by examination only after that deadline.
The Board has
formed an expert panel of certified asthma educators who will evaluate the
continuing education courses for validity to ensure that they are pertinent to
the Detailed Content Outline (DCO), which can be downloaded from our website, www.NAECB.org. The DCO serves as the
matrix for the NAECB examination.
Sincerely,Traci Arney MN, FNP-C, AE-C, FAANP
