I have been a Certified Surgical Technologist for 24 years and received my licensure with the VA Board of Medicine back in 2021. I am appalled to find out that might not be good enough to continue practicing. Receiving a certification through another governing body will  not change the way I practice. I am unclear if this means completing another course or if I just need to sign up with the other certification body. I feel that my tenure justifies a grandfather in reason, as it is too late in the game to be deciding these changes. This decision should be considered for new graduates moving forward!
