Current through June 25, 2024
Each individual licensed as a speech-language
						pathologist or audiologist is responsible for optimum service to the consumer
						and is accountable to the consumer, the employer, and the profession for
						evidence of maintaining high levels of skill and knowledge.
1. Continuing education is defined as
					 education beyond the basic preparation required for entry into the profession,
					 directly related to the performance and practice of speech-language pathology
					 or audiology. Relevancy of continuing education hours will be determined by the
					 department with the advice of the council.
2. Pursuant to §
											73-38-33
					 of the Mississippi Code 1972 Annotated, continuing education is
					 mandatory.

Current through June 25, 2024
1. Regulations set the requirement of 20
					 contact hours (CH) or 2 Continuing Education Units (CEU) to be accrued during
					 the licensing term. No carryover of continuing education hours from one
					 licensure period to another shall be allowed. At least fifty (50) percent (10
					 Contact Hours or 1 CEU) of the continuing education requirement must be
					 directly related to the clinical practice of speech-language pathology or
					 audiology.
2. Individuals applying
					 for initial licensure within a licensing term must accrue continuing education
					 hours on a prorated scale. Written notification of required hours will be sent
					 to the applicant at the time of licensure.
3. Individuals holding a temporary license
					 must meet the same CEU requirements as regularly licensed
					 practitioners.
4. Persons who fail
					 to accrue the required continuing education hours shall be issued a CE
					 probationary license for the licensure term. Failure to accrue the required
					 hours during the CE probationary period will result in the revocation of the
					 license. Hours accrued are first credited for the delinquent hours lacking from
					 the previous licensure period, and then applied to the current (CE
					 probationary) licensing period. CE probationary licenses will be issued for one
					 licensure term only. No ensuing license may be CE probationary as a result of
					 not meeting continuing education requirements.
5. NOTE: Reinstatement of a license revoked
					 for failure to meet continuing education requirements is subject to the
					 discretion of the Department. If said license is permitted to be reinstated,
					 payment of the "renewal," the "late renewal payment penalty", and the "license
					 issued after expiration date" fees as stated in Subchapter 11 of these
					 regulations will be required before licensure may be reinstated.
