c. A health-related seminar sponsored by a college or university accredited by an organization recognized by the United States department of education;

b. The qualifications and subjects taught by each instructor appearing in the program.

c. The procedure to be used for recording attendance of those attendees seeking to apply for continuing naturopathic education credit.

3. The board shall be the sole determinant of whether the courses are approved for continuing naturopathic education credit. The board shall make that determination based on the information submitted to it. In making its decision, the board shall determine whether the course submitted for credit meets the basic goals of continuing naturopathic education. Those basic goals include the growth of knowledge, the cultivation of skills and greater understanding, the continual striving for excellence in naturopathic care, and the improvement of health and welfare of the public.

4. Except for continuing naturopathic education credits for a program sponsored by the board, it is the responsibility of the licensee to verify the appropriate credit designation with the source of the program, not with the board. All licensees are encouraged to verify eligibility for continuing naturopathic credit and the appropriate credit designation before taking any particular course.
