State Licensure: Know what’s at stake!!
Do you know how the “affordable health care act” is going to affect your future as a CDE?
Do you know that there is currently no legal scope of practice for a CDE in Oregon?
By the end of 2013, it is likely that the State of Oregon will have the opportunity to decide who will provide and be reimbursed for diabetes education. The language being used is “licensed” diabetes educators.
Get involved in the effort to have an impact on the definition of who can and who can’t provide diabetes education in Oregon! Our futures depend on it.
Go to AADE>Policy and Advocacy>State Licensure Initiative. Get caught up in what’s going on.
