Procedures for Clinic Attendance Verification for CE Credit

nbc jpgT
he National Board for Certification is now utilizing bubble sheet technology
to
trackNBC Continuing Education credits. Upon entry into each clinic, CDTs
and RGs will obtain a scan card.

1. Your name and address must be clearly printed in the upper portion of the scan card
     in the boxed area.
2. The lower portion of the card provides two boxes.
3. You will “bubble in” your complete CDT/RG number in the box on the left and a special
    course number in the box on the right.
4. The course number will be provided.

Important ... the scan cards must be filled out with a No. 2 pencil. Do not use ink, ballpoint, or felt tip pens.

Any cards that are not bubbled in completely and correctly cannot be recorded. If your CDT or RG number begins with one or more zeros, you must mark those bubbles. Do not fold, bend, tear, staple, or moisten the scan card.

You must sign the card, which is to certify that the course number claimed is the actual course attended. You must leave the completed cards in the classroom before you exit. The scan card cannot be faxed or mailed to the NBC by the individual.

Be sure to take your Clinic Confirmation to retain in your records for possible future reference.
