Section 100-28b-7 - Continuing education

(a) As a condition of renewal, evidence of completion within the preceding one-year period of 15 contact hours of continuing education may be requested by the board. The continuing education shall meet or exceed the standards specified in K.S.A. 65-1132(a)(2), and amendments thereto.

(b) For the purposes of this regulation, "contact hour" shall mean a total of 50 minutes of participation in a learning experience intended to build upon the educational and experiential bases of an advanced practice registered nurse midwife. Fractions of hours over 30 minutes to be computed towards a contact hour shall be accepted.

(c) An individual initially licensed to engage in the independent practice of midwifery less than 12 months before the renewal date shall not be required to submit the evidence of completion of continuing education required by subsection (a) for the first renewal period.

(d) An extension of not more than six months to submit evidence of completion of continuing education may be granted by the board for a substantiated medical condition, natural disaster, death of a spouse or an immediate family member, or any similar circumstance beyond the licensee's control that renders the licensee incapable of meeting the requirements of subsection (a). Each such request shall be submitted with or before submitting an application for renewal and shall include a plan for completion of the continuing education requirements within the requested extension period.
