Re: Continued education- paid or not paid

[Guest guest]

Vinod:

This is what I do for continuing education:

$3,000/year - combination of coursework and travel accommodations.

5 days/year paid administrative leave.

This comes in handy for encouraging things like CSM, PT2008, or Preview 2020.

Otherwise, most courses are weekends only.

Hope this helps.

Continued education- paid or not paid

Group,

I was wondering what policies are for continued education courses and if

they are paid day, taken as vacation or separate in a private practice?

Thanks

All of our PT/OT clients offer some form of CEU allowance, ranging from

$1500 to $2500 per year, which includes the cost of the course, travel expense

and meals. The course must be approved by the clinic owner in order for the

PT/OT to be paid for missed work hours. If not an approved course, the PT/OT

does not get paid for missed work hours and has the option to take this time

as paid vacation or unpaid vacation. If the course is approved and held over

the weekend, the PT/OT takes off the day before the course or after the

course. Additionally, many of our more progressive PT/OT clients are now

requiring that their PTs/OTs attend at least one coding/billing/compliance

related

CEU course per year.

Hope this helps.

In my small practice I don't have a strict policy, since some CE

courses have no direct application to my practice setting, but take

it on a case by case basis. If applicable to our setting, I give the

day of the course as if they worked; if a 2 day weekend course, I'll

give them one day on either side of the w/e as a day off. Jeff
