Sec. 402.304. ALTERNATIVES TO CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENT
-
(a) On written request to the department, a license holder may take the state examination. A license holder who pays the examination fee and passes the examination is exempt from the continuing education requirement for the reporting period in which the test is taken.
(b) A license holder may be credited with continuing education credit hours for a published book or article written by the license holder that contributes to the license holder's professional competence. The continuing education committee may grant credit hours based on the degree to which the published book or article advances knowledge regarding the fitting and dispensing of hearing instruments. A license holder may claim in a reporting period not more than five credit hours for preparation of a publication.
