Can ACLS training count toward the eight hours of stroke continuing education?
The education needs to be specifically related to stroke and the total number of stroke specific material covered in ACLS may be only two hours. The ACLS training may only be every two years vs. annually. The hours for ACLS should be counted only for the year in which the certification was attained. -Top- • What is primary source verification? Primary Source verification applies only to licensure/certification or registration required to practice a profession. Current licensure/certification or registration is verified at the time of hire or renewal via a secure electronic communication. Telephone verification is acceptable, if that verification is documented. Primary Source verification will be obtained from State licensing boards or a primary source of information to be verified may be designated to an agency with the role of communicating credentials information. The delegated agency then becomes acceptable to be used as a primary source. Primary Source verification is not required
