Florida-licensed Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists are required to complete 2 hours of continuing education on the Prevention of Medical Errors every 2 years for their license renewal. The same course can be taken every 2 years as it is considered a “refresher” of the knowledge. To be accepted by the Florida Board of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, the course must either be offered by an ASHA-approved provider or by a provider approved by another Florida licensing board.

Professional Development Resources now offers a 2-hour course on Preventing Medical Errors in Speech-Language Pathology to meet this requirement. The course is registered with ASHA for 0.2 CEUs and is available online for immediate access. PDResources reports course completions to ASHA (as long as requested to by student on enrollment) on a quarterly basis. ASHA is responsible for reporting course completions to Florida’s CE Broker. If not an ASHA member, the licensee is responsible for reporting their own course completions to CE Broker.
