Current Monthly Briefing

May 2021

With immediate effect, the Board is accepting applications for a live virtual method of undertaking the 40-hour CHT preceptorship requirement. Those wishing to take advantage of this opportunity are invited to apply to the Board. In doing so, please describe how you intend to facilitate this process, including responses to the following:

Which live virtual method (Zoom, Facetime, Microsoft Team, etc.) and device type
(phone, tablet, laptop camera)
The process(s) employed to ensure patient privacy
Who will be the designated proctor(s)
Student(s) name
A timeline showing how the 40-hours will be broken into sessions, what each session will cover, and dates of the sessions. Please note that simply turning on a video camera for 40-hours and watching the student conduct chamber operations does not meet the intent of the proctorship.

Each student is still required to complete and submit the Preceptor Notification Form.

This virtual preceptorship process will remain in force until formally rescinded by the Board, with 90 days’ notice. Any related questions…contact Board headquarters.
