N.M. Admin. Code § 16.26.5.9 - CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS OF LICENSEES
A. The board requires 20 hours of continuing
education every two years. These may be distributed over the two year period,
or they may all be obtained in one year. These continuing education hours must
be in the field of licensure, or in a related field if justified to the board
office. The board office will consult with the board to resolve questions as to
appropriate continuing education hours. Renewal of a license shall be
contingent upon the fulfillment of the continuing education standards and the
supplying of evidence thereof by the licensee. The board shall be the final
authority on acceptance of any educational activity submitted by a licensee to
meet the continuing education requirement.
B. The number of continuing education hours
required for renewal of a license may be prorated by the board office.
(1) A licensed individual whose next renewal
date occurs less than 12 months after the license is issued will be required to
earn continuing education hours equivalent to one hour per month each month the
license is issued or reinstated to the last day of the renewal month up to a
maximum of 10 clock hours.
(2) Any
approved continuing education hours accrued prior to receiving a license during
the year the license is issued can be applied toward the continuing education
requirements.
C. Any
person licensed as both a speech-language pathologist and an audiologist or
hearing aid dispenser must fulfill the requirements of 20 clock hours of
continuing education every two years in each field in which the licensee is
licensed.
