Continuing Education Requirements

A. Before relicensure, an individual shall submit satisfactory evidence of having completed a minimum of 40 hours, unless otherwise specified by State or federal law, of continuing education, approved by the Board, within the 2-year period before the relicensure date. A maximum of 10 hours of Board-approved continuing education may be carried over into the next renewal period. The approval of the continuing education shall be at the discretion of the Board.

B. In order for the Board to approve a program of study for continuing education, the program study shall:

  1. Relate to health care administration; and
  2. Be approved by the National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards.

C. The Board shall award 10 clock hours of continuing education for each completed accredited college course that falls within the core of knowledge.

Program Approval

Effective January 25, 2010, the Maryland Board of Examiners will no longer process continuing education programs for approval.  All Nursing Home Administrators must take programs approved by the National Association of Boards of Long Term Care Administrators (NAB). Maryland accepts all programs approved by NAB, and the program's certificate of attendance must contain the NAB approval number. The Board will no longer accept programs approved by another state's Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators.

It is the licensee's responsibility to make sure that all continuing education programs completed for license renewal are NAB approved. The Board suggests that you confirm with sponsors that programs you are interested in attending have been approved by NAB. If you have any doubts about the approval status of the programs, please contact NAB at (202) 712-9040, or visit their website at www.nabweb.org.
