Continuing Education
Registered
Sanitarians and Sanitarian Interns must successfully
complete at least 15 clock hours of continuing
education annually in order to renew their
registration. The Board has developed a guide to Continuing
Education Policies to outline how the Board
applies the Rules
requiring the continuing education. Be sure to
note updates related to continuing education venues,
listed at the top of the
Continuing Education Policies page.
The Board routinely
approves courses developed and provided through the
North Carolina State of Practice Committee, district
educational meetings, conference education,
teleconferences, and college courses. All requests for
course or education approval should be made prior to
attending or completing such education to ensure
successful awarding of hours. The Board will evaluate
and determine which courses, meetings, or other
settings meet continuing educational requirements.
Effective January
1, 2004, a completed Course
Approval form (pdf) must be submitted with
each request for approval of a course or educational
offering. A list of Board-approved
continuing education opportunities is published
after each Board meeting and is available for
downloading. Attendance or participation in various
educational settings must be documented in some
fashion. This may include completion certificates,
course final grades, electronic registrations, or a
Board attendance
register provided by course sponsors for use by
participants.
