I regularly check the websites available. I am in touch with the chair of the Massage Therapy Board. I attend the meetings when possible. I am always on the lookout for changes. It is my responsibility to maintain compliance at all times.
Lisa,
I like the tip for adding the reminder to check out the website.
Printing out the rules and regulations for my notebook helps me keep everything organized. I have also added a reminder on my computer to check the website for updates. Great Idea! Its easy to get busy, now I will always be updated with the current info.
Chin-Wah,
You are off to an excellent start!
Our schools catalog is located on the website.
I also have a few 3 ring binders with all the rules, regulations, policies, procedures, and student catalog and website information of the governing institutions. Plus I have links on my desk top to all the information I need to know.
Judy,
Many schools do through a separate link or .pdf file to download. Make sure it is the same version that is being distributed at the school.
Do you display your school catalog on your school web site?
Shanna,
You are establishing a good practice.
I keep up with rules and regulations by CE course and checking pertinent websites. When in doubt, I refer to the resource book.
Shaun,
It is important to discuss these rules in order to fully comprehend their meanings.
Chris,
The rules are an explanation of the statute. They clarify the meaning of the law and how to implement it.
we have learned through management and training meeings about all new rules
The rules keep us current
John,
Check the Commission and accreditation body websites regularly for updated information. They are excellent resources for adding to your notebook.
I have a Resource Notebook that I will regularly update monthly. I have divided it by sections so that everything is easy to find.I will use a wide variety of resources from the Commission website to actually discussing topics with personal resources at the school.
Martin,
Having discussions with other personnel is a way to make sure everyone knows the rules and can explain them to someone else.
The main way is to familiarize my self with them by reading the entire statute or regulation. After reading them I have been researching how on my campus have we been maintaining these regualtions.
Janet,
Please sure to add any documents relative to your institution, such as accreditation requirements. Another good suggestion is to add current advertising slicks so that you see what the potentional student sees.
I now have a Resource Notebook that I will regularly update. I have divided it by sections so that everything is easy to find in one place.
Nina,
Having the information both ways can serve both clients..the technologically savvy and the ones who want to see it on paper.
