Public Register

Learning Resources

According to the Continuing Competence Program (CCP), College registrants are required to complete two hours of learning for every month they are on the general register. For most registrants, this translates to 24 hours of continuing education required annually.

Following is a list of learning activities which can be used to support a registrant’s practice and comply with CCP requirements. Acceptable learning activities include, but are not limited to, reading books and journals, taking courses, preceptoring, and delivering professional presentations.

Satisfactory CCP Learning Activities

Background

Satisfactory Learning Activities are those that contribute to a registrant’s professional development.

Below is a list of learning activities that the Competence Committee has determined to be satisfactory, satisfactory with time restrictions, or unsatisfactory.

Policy

Without limiting the scope of the statements above, the Committee has determined that:

Satisfactory Learning Activities

  • When a registrant delivers a presentation/lecture, it is recognized that this involves professional learning. In light of this, the registrant may use the time spent in preparation for this activity and the time spent delivering this presentation/lecture one time towards the CCP requirements.

Satisfactory Learning Activities with Time Restrictions

  • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) time may be counted for up to four hours per CCP cycle. Any CPR hours exceeding four hours are not considered to add to the satisfactory learning requirement.
  • ACMDTT courses, including the Regulation Education Module, Protection of Patients from Sexual Abuse and Sexual Misconduct, Professional Communication, Professional Boundaries, Patient Consent, and Social Media and Digital Citizenship may be counted for up to four hours each towards a CCP cycle.
  • College/Association newsletters and articles may be counted for up to no more than one hour of learning collectively, per issue, towards a CCP cycle.
  • Registrants who complete peer-to-peer image/recording reviews may use a maximum of four hours towards a CCP cycle.
  • Registrants participating in clinical precepting may use a maximum of five hours towards a CCP cycle.
  • Job/performance evaluations may be counted for up to no more than one hour of learning per CCP cycle.
  • Participation in tradeshows for the purpose of public awareness of the profession may be used for a maximum of eight hours per CCP cycle.

The My CCP tutorial may be used for a maximum of 30 minutes per CCP cycle.

Unsatisfactory Learning Activities

  • A learning activity submitted without adequate self-reflection is not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Time spent completing the College’s CCP documentation is not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Learning for personal improvement (i.e., yoga, wellness activities), not related to professional improvement, is not considered a satisfactory learning activity.
  • Time spent learning software/systems required by an employer for administrative purposes such as shift management software, expense tracking or payroll education, or tracking continuing education is not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Online video learning will not be considered satisfactory learning unless supported with appropriate citation and appropriate self-reflection.
  • Staff/Committee meetings, without adequate self-reflection for each individual meeting, are not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Meetings restricted to the content of contract negotiations/pension plans/ are not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Personal financial planning activities and union meetings are not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Research completed on peer-edited websites (i.e., Wikipedia or derivatives) is not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Time spent completing an examination is not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Time spent on social media networking is not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Learning activities recorded in duplicate (or other multiples) will only be counted once towards the registrant’s CCP cycle.
