Dead Board members;
I oppose the removal (or adding restriction) of the ability to obtain CEC virtually. All others professions allow it and it serves a huge benefit of decreasing travel, fatigue, delays, cost, time away from office, and time away from family.
I am also not aware of the problems sited as the reason for the suggestion. I asked for data and received none. I am also not sure that the remedy is to "punish" or force the whole profession to attend in person seminars. I am not sure if that solves the problems mentioned. Perhaps a more focused approach to address the people who commit ethical violations is more appropriate.
I support the removal of restriction that the 30 hours of CEC have to be clinical. This will allow more people to attend practice management, ethical, or liability CECs.
Thank you for your time
