Monthly Briefing May 2025

Beginning on September 1, 2025, CHTs applying for recertification will be required to undergo a mandatory continuing education session. It relates to hyperbaric chamber codes and standards and serves as an extension of information provided in the September 2024 Monthly Briefing, which, in part, referenced the seemingly unchecked introduction of non-code compliant chambers.

It is a one-time mandatory CHT continuing education session.

The session is comprised of three presentations that award two hours of Category A credit: Codes and Standards for the Certified Hyperbaric Technologist, Application of Codes and Standards for the Certified Hyperbaric Technologist, and Non-Code Complaint Hyperbaric Chambers. The Board is very grateful to its three authoritative presenters, Rob Sheffield, Andrew Melnyczenko and Francois Burman.

The material will be located at www.nbdhmt.org and become viewable in early July. A reminder notice will be circulated as soon as it is posted.
