Section 172-114-004 - APPROVAL OF PHYSICAL AGENT MODALITY COURSES
Current through March 20, 2024
To have a physical agent modality training course approved by the Board, an individual must submit a complete application provided by the Department and provide documentation demonstrating that the training course meets the requirements of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 38-2530 and this chapter
004.01 ACCESS. Approved courses must be open to all licensees.
004.02 AUDIT ACCESS. Providers must allow employees of the Department or its designees, to audit classroom course instruction, course materials, instructors' presentations, course records, and records of examination, attendance rosters and other aspects of instruction. These auditors must not be hindered, obstructed, delayed, prevented or interfered with while conducting or attempting to conduct an audit. Audits will be conducted with a minimum of disruptions. Providers agree that auditors may attend any Board-approved course offered for the purpose of the audit without paying any fee. Providers must grant the Department or its designees the right to audit records at the premises of the provider or at the physical location of the records.
004.03 RECORD KEEPING. Providers must keep all records of attendance, records of examination, course records and requests for duplicate course completion certificates on file for 5 years. These records must be available to the Department upon request.
004.04 REAPPLICATION. Once approved, a course may not be substantially altered without a new application being submitted to the Board. A substantial alteration is any change that would modify the content or time allocations would change any of the course topics or a change in instructors. If there is a change in instructors, the provider must request approval of the instructor by submitting a curriculum vitae for the new instructor. The Board will evaluate the curriculum vitae and reaffirm or deny the physical agent modality course approval.
004.05 ADVERTISEMENT. A course may not be advertised or otherwise promoted as appropriate for Nebraska physical agent modality certification until the course has been approved by the Board. Advertising a course as being offered for physical agent modality certification before approval of the course is grounds for disqualification of the course.
004.06 APPROVAL REVOCATION. The approval of a physical agent modality course will be revoked if a provider of the course is found to have issued a certificate of course completion to an individual who did not complete the course.
