CE Certificates

CE certificates were emailed Wednesday, 2/1, and Thursday, 2/2.  If you did not receive one and completed the program assessments/feedback forms, please contact Sara Pittelkau, VATA Annual Meeting Chair @ vatameeting@gmail.com.  

 

Please keep track of your CE certificates, as there is a fee for duplicates.  This change began in 2022.  Any requests made on/after March 1st for the 2023 VATA Annual Meeting and Symposium CE Certificates earned, but not received, must be made in writing by email to Sara Pittelkau, Annual Meeting Committee Chair, at vatameeting@gmail.com so an invoice for duplicate CE certificate(s) can be emailed. A $15.00 fee per certificate (not to exceed $30) will be assessed for each request. After March 31st no CE Certificates will be issued.

Grievance Policy & Procedure

The VATA is committed to conducting all activities in strict conformance with accreditation agencies and boards. VATA will comply with all responsibilities to be nondiscriminatory in activities, program content and in treatment of participants. VATA will provide participants with the ability to raise any complaints or concerns they may have. While VATA attempts to assure fair treatment of all participants, we recognize grievances that may require intervention. Grievances are handled in the following manner:

 

When a participant files a grievance/complaint, the Annual Meeting and/or Education Committee will evaluate the nature of the complaint. If it is meritorious, the Annual Meeting and/or Education Committee will instruct the staff to implement any necessary changes in the course. The complainant will receive a response from the Annual Meeting and/or Education Committee or designated staff within 5 working days. Participants may file a complaint by email: vatameeting@gmail.com

 

For a complete list of program development requirements adhere to Standards 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the Standards for BOC Approved Providers and the BOC Approved Provider Maintenance Requirements.
