The APA ethics code and continuing education
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010“2.03 Maintaining Competence
Psychologists undertake ongoing efforts to develop and maintain their competence”
For some reason I thought the APA ethics Code was more “wordy” about CE credits. But what more do you have to say? Actually, it doesn’t make much sense to pay for CE credits if you don’t have to pay for CE credits. So all of you psychologists and other mental health professionals in states where you don’t have a required amount or type of continuing education to maintain your licensure, feel free to brag while reading courses for free on our site to “maintain competence” after we launch this fall (you’d only pay for the CE credits if you needed them). You of course would have to pay for a live workshop if you went to one or a book unless you got it from the library (I recommend inter-library loan if you’re not sure about the book, it still exists).
Be sure to check any appropriate categories to make the post easier to find (you could also “Tag” it to). Put it in a category named after the course provider that you took your CE course from (or choose “other” if its not listed), you could also add it to a category like “ethics” as well if that is applicable.
