FREE ETHICS SEMINAR for NC Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapists, taught by Kevin Powell, MA, LMBT

Standards of Professional Conduct:

Your Roles and Legal Responsibilities

February 20, 2012 | Monday, 1:00-4:30pm | 3.5 continuing education contact hours

Based on the laws that comprise the Practice Act, the Rules of the Board specify requirements that Licensees must follow at all times. This seminar will focus on the 16 rules in Section .0500 that comprise the current Standards of Professional Conduct for all North Carolina Licensees. We will review the text of these rules, decode their meaning and purpose, and discuss practical strategies for compliance with these requirements in your massage therapy practice. The intention of this seminar is to provide you with basic information needed to carry out your professional duties in a safe and effective manner.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED for this free seminar, and is taken on a space-available basis. Open to currently-licensed NC LMBT’s only; those who have previously taken this seminar at BTI may not repeat it.

You must contact BTI by mail or phone to register. Online registration is not available. Those who attend will receive documentation of 3.5 contact hours of continuing education credit. This course meets the ethics requirements for license renewal with the North Carolina Board of Massage & Bodywork Therapy, and for re-certification with NCBTMB.
