2008 Home Study Course: Information

“For Minnesota, By Minnesota”
A CE Membership Value

We are pleased to announce the latest edition of a free continuing education (CE) opportunity for MSHA members only: the MSHA 2008 Home Study Course. The course provides an opportunity to earn ASHA CEUs and Minnesota Department of Education or Department of Health clock hours, available from June 23rd through September 15th, 2008.

Home Study Lectures:
The course consists of five lectures representing “for Minnesota, by Minnesota” presenters who are academic faculty or community partners. The lectures provide continuing education in speech, language, and swallowing. These lectures are only accessible to MSHA members on the protected membership area of our MSHA Web site. Any current MSHA member is eligible to participate.

Participant Responsibility:
Like all MSHA CE activities, the MSHA Home Study Course is a voluntary opportunity. Participants must agree to work independently. Participants may elect to view any number of the five lectures. To receive CE credit, participants must answer the corresponding CE questions accurately (see pass/fail criteria), and submit response materials for review by the CE deadline of September 30, 2008.

Pass / Fail Criteria:
MSHA Home Study Course Editors will grade and record all participant responses. PASS requires 4 correct responses out of 5 CE questions for each lecture. Participants are eligible for 0.1 ASHA CEUs or one clock hour from the Minnesota Department of Health or Department of Education for each lecture.

The Minnesota Speech-Language-Hearing Association is approved by the Continuing Education Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) to provide continuing education activities in speech-language pathology and audiology.
