CFCC took this action in response to members who have asked for a way to reinstate their ASHA certification that would take into account their experience gained (and maintained) while continuing to work in the professions. A major component of the new reinstatement policy is how the certification lapse is measured. Previously the lapse was measured in years, with different recertification requirements depending on the date of last certification (within or beyond five years). Under the new policy, the lapse is viewed in relation to certification standards: whether the current audiology or speech-language pathology standards are the same or different from those in effect when certification lapsed. If certification standards have remained the same, CFCC believes that applicants likely have been practicing with an up-to-date knowledge and skills base, continuing to accumulate professional development hours in their area(s) of interest. These applicants will complete the brief reinstatement application and provide evidence of continuing education in relation to the length of time since they previously held certification, up to a maximum of 30 hours. If the standards have changed since certification was last in effect, applicants must provide documentation for 30 hours of professional development within the last three years and evidence of successful completion of the Praxis examination (a score of at least 600 within five years prior to submission of the reinstatement application) through official notification from the Education and Testing Service (ETS). Visit ASHA’s Web site for Praxis exam preparation information and links to free ETS study materials. CF Requirement Removed The new reinstatement policy also removes the 12-week clinical fellowship requirement—instead, the applicant must obtain the signature of a colleague holding current ASHA certification in the area in which reinstatement is sought. This signed affirmation by a current ASHA certificate-holder who is familiar with the applicant’s knowledge, skills, and abilities acknowledges the efforts of the applicant to remain involved and current in the profession and is a valuable testament toward certification reinstatement. The last standards change in speech-language pathology took effect Jan. 1, 2005. SLPs seeking reinstatement who held certification through Dec. 31, 2009, will not need to provide evidence of exam completion. Individuals whose certification lapsed before and including Dec. 31, 2004, must provide verification of a passing score on the Praxis. Audiology certification standards last changed effective Jan. 1, 2007, and will change effective Jan. 1, 2011, and again on Jan. 1, 2012, when the clinical doctoral degree will be required. Previously certified audiologists whose certification lapsed before Dec. 31, 2006, will be required to provide verification of passing the audiology Praxis within five years prior to submitting the reinstatement application. If certification lapsed after Jan. 1, 2007, exam verification is not required but documentation confirming completion of professional development hours will be required. All lapsed certificate holders are welcome to apply for reinstatement; current certificate-holders are encouraged to invite previously certified colleagues to apply. Applications are available from the Action Center at 800-498-2071; more information is available at Certification Reinstatement Frequently Asked Questions.

To examine the relationship between maintenance of certification (MOC) and the clinical knowledge demonstrated by family physicians as they move further away from formal training.Performances of 10,801 examinees-2,440 seeking initial certification; 8,361 seeking MOC-on the summer 2009 American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) certification examination were compared across 30 cohorts that represented recent residency program graduates and already-certified family physician diplomates with varying years of clinical experience. Experience was defined as the time in years since the year of initial certification. This study employed a natural-groups, cross-sectional design; however, it was used to draw longitudinal inferences.Family physicians who maintained certification performed better than recent graduates. They increased their examination scores by almost 17 points each successive time that they took the exam, with scores reaching their highest point 28 to 31 years after initial certification. Multiple comparison analyses confirmed that the trend was significant; however, subanalyses revealed that this trend remained significant only for U.S. medical graduates (USMGs) but not international medical graduates. Those family physicians that did not maintain their certification performed significantly worse than recent graduates.The findings suggest that ABFM diplomates who are USMGs and maintain their certification perform better on the ABFM certification examination with additional years of experience until approximately 30 years after residency training.

The Continuing Education Program Handbook on Maintenance of Certification delineates the rules and regulations established by the Council on Certification to implement the AMRA Standards for Maintenance of Certification. It is the responsibility of all credentialed individuals to read this Handbook and become familiar with its contents. It is used by the CE Division in administering the CE program.

In the following article, Akira Kojima, managing director and editorial page editor of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, evaluates the 2000 Kyushu-Okinawa Summit. In contrast to those critics who contend that the summit has deteriorated into an irrelevant and redundant international gathering, Kojima argues that the summit is even more important than it has ever been. In this evaluation of the 2000 G8 Summit, he outlines the role of the summit and, in particular, explains the significance of the summit for Japan, both for politicians and for the general public. He also discusses the rationale for the choice of Okinawa as the venue for the last G8 Summit of the twentieth century.
