Continuing Education
The BCCA recognizes that professional development in anaplastology does not end with the passing of a test and awarding of the credential. Practice of Clinical Anaplastology requires the constant renewal of knowledge and experience in the areas technology, materials science, clinical practice and regulatory compliance as they relate to the field. The mission of the continuous education awards program is to encourage and upgrade the ongoing learning experiences of the CCA through the renewal of certification.
There are three components required for recertification for certificants to remain “Active in Good Standing”:
- Yearly payment of renewal fees.
- Accrual of sixty (60) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) during the five (5) year renewal cycle, and submission of a completed “Certification Renewal Verification Log” which documents those Continuing Education activities.

A variety of continuing education and professional development activities will be accepted by the BCCA.
Examples:
- Conferences
- Workshops
- Clinical internships
- Regulatory/Compliance
- Authorship of journal articles and book chapters
Complete procedures for recertification (renewal), and professional development activities requirements are contained in the Recertification Requirements and Guidelines for Certified Clinical Anaplastologists. For a copy of this manual, please click here.
