\"\"Certification maintenance requirements are due Dec. 31, 2023, 11:59 p.m. CT. Athletic Trainers (ATs) must confirm that their 2022 maintenance fee was paid in full (late fees apply for payment in 2023). In addition, ATs are required to pay the 2023 annual certification maintenance fee, as well as report their continuing education (CE) requirements, upload their current emergency cardiac card (ECC) card\/certificate and agree to confirmation statements using the CE reporting form. Today, we will walk through the CE reporting form and provide valuable tips to help ATs be successful.<\/p>\n

TIP 1: CHECK \u201cMY TO DO LIST\u201d IN YOUR BOC PROFILE<\/h5>\n

Once logged into your BOC profile, make sure to check items that are due on the \u201cMy To Do List.\u201d Each item will be removed from the list once they have been completed.<\/p>\n

Click \u201cVerify My Contact Info\u201d to make sure your information is current.
\nUse the \u201cPay Cert Maintenance Fee\u201d task to pay all outstanding fees. ATs can also refer to the \u201cCert Maintenance Fee\u201d status tab on the left navigation to confirm whether fees were paid for each year. It will show as a green \u201cPAID\u201d once the fee has been processed and a red \u201cDUE\u201d when fees are still owed.
\nSelect \u201cEnter\/Submit CE Activity\u201d to go to your CE reporting form. ATs can also navigate to \u201cMenu\u201d on the top right navigation and drop down to \u201cCE Reporting Form.\u201d<\/p>\n

TIP 2: VIEW CE REPORTING FORM TUTORIAL VIDEO<\/h5>\n

There is now a CE Reporting Form Tutorial video available in your BOC profile dashboard and on the CE reporting form that you can view if you have questions. Look for the pink play button.<\/p>\n

TIP 3: REVIEW \u201cSTEP 1: CEU SUMMARY\u201d<\/h5>\n

The \u201cCEU Summary\u201d displays important information including:<\/p>\n

Reporting period dates
\nTotal CEUs due
\nAll CEUs and updates when an entry is saved
\nBreakdown of Category A, B, C and D CEUs entered
\nYou\u2019ll notice that there is no longer an Evidence Based Practice (EBP) category tab. EBP was integrated into Category A in 2022 so you will now be required to report a minimum number of continuing education units (CEUs) in Category A.<\/p>\n

TIP 4: REVIEW CATEGORY A PROGRAM CERTIFICATE<\/h5>\n

The certificate for Category A programs should list your name, BOC Approved Provider name, program title, BOC Approved Provider logo, statement of credit, completion date and CEU eligibility.<\/p>\n

If your certificate is missing the BOC Approved Provider logo and statement of credit, please contact the BOC for help in identifying if the program is from a BOC Approved Provider.
\nIf the certificate is missing your name or other information, please contact the BOC Approved Provider for an updated certificate.<\/p>\n

TIP 5: USE \u201cQUICK ENTRY\u201d FOR CATEGORY A ONLY<\/h5>\n

Use the \u201cQuick Entry\u201d tool to look-up Category A programs, which are CE programs offered by BOC Approved Providers.<\/p>\n

Search for the individual session named on your certificate, instead of conference or convention name, if they are listed individually.
\nMake sure to enter details as they are listed on the certificate.
\nThe completion date is the last day you attended the program.
\nATs should only report the number of CEUs you participated in.<\/p>\n

TIP 6: ENTER \u201cCATEGORY A CEUS\u201d MANUALLY<\/h5>\n

If you can\u2019t find the Category A program using the \u201cQuick Entry,\u201d go to \u201cCategory A CEUs\u201d to manually add the program using the \u201cAdd\u201d button at the top.<\/p>\n

Under \u201cActivity Type\u201d please select \u201cParticipant (CE Program).\u201d
\n\u201cCategory B CEUs\u201d are for professional and scholarly activities.
\n\u201cCategory C CEUs\u201d are for post-certification college or university coursework.
\n\u201cCategory D CEUs\u201d are for non-BOC Approved Provider programs.<\/p>\n

TIP 7: UNDERSTANDING CATEGORY B, CATEGORY C AND CATEGORY D<\/h5>\n

Use tabs to manually add programs using the \u201cAdd\u201d button at the top.<\/p>\n

TIP 8: USE EDIT OR DELETE UNDER RESPECTIVE CATEGORY TAB<\/h5>\n

You can \u201cEdit\u201d or \u201cDelete\u201d all Category A, B, C and D programs that you have entered using their respective tab.<\/p>\n

TIP 9: REVIEW THE \u201cCEU SUMMARY\u201d AFTER ALL CEUS ARE ENTERED<\/h5>\n

Once all CEUs are added go back to the \u201cCEU Summary\u201d to review your totals. If there are any differences in the submitted versus applied, check that your completion date is within the reporting period.<\/p>\n

TIP 10: MAKE SURE \u201cSTEP 2: ECC DOCUMENTATION\u201d IS UP TO DATE<\/h5>\n

ATs must be able to demonstrate ongoing certification in ECC throughout the reporting period. Make sure all cards that were active during your reporting period are listed in the form.<\/p>\n

Past ECC cards or certificates are listed here.
\nIf \u201cReview\u201d appears next to it, then the entry cannot be edited.<\/p>\n

TIP 11: COMPLETE \u201cSTEP 3: PRACTICE SURVEY\u201d AND \u201cSTEP 4: CONFIRMATION STATEMENTS\u201d<\/h5>\n

Make sure to complete Step 3 and Step 4 before navigating to the \u201cSubmission Checklist.\u201d<\/p>\n

TIP 12: USE THE \u201cSUBMISSION CHECKLIST\u201d TO FINALIZE AND SUBMIT CE REPORTING FORM<\/h5>\n

In the \u201cSubmission Checklist\u201d tab, you can review a summary of what has been entered. If you see an X under \u201cStatus\u201d refer to the \u201cMessage\u201d column to see what action is needed. The \u201cSubmit\u201d button only appears if all required items are complete.<\/p>\n
