We here at the Illinois Chiropractic Society want to remind you that the deadline for renewal is July 31 of 2023. Make sure that you’re renewed by them, talk to your colleagues, and talk to your friends to make sure that they have completed the renewal by that timeframe. Occasionally, someone may inadvertently forget to renew. And it creates several different challenges all related to credentialing, licensing, and of course, fines and penalties associated with not renewing your license appropriately. So you want to make sure you get that done. And again, remind your friends and colleagues.
This is an important one, when you renew, you have to attest to a number of different things. And one of those is that you have completed all of your required continuing medic medical education. If you are a member of the Illinois Chiropractic Society, I cannot stress this enough, if you’re a member of the Illinois Chiropractic Society, then you can take any number of our on-demand educational hours, we have several webinars that are scheduled between now and then too. So you can also take any of those webinars, at no cost to you, you have already paid your dues to the Illinois Chiropractic Society and as a part of that dues payment come also your continuing medical education hours through us with our on-demand and our webinar courses. Again, on-demand and webinar courses are free to Illinois Chiropractic Society members. So make sure that you take advantage that for those extra for those last 12 hours, it may be or if you forgot to, to get any education, or maybe you’ve hit the point where you took a number of different courses and gone through a number of clinical courses throughout the course of the last three years. But they weren’t actually officially approved here in Illinois, you can still obtain those hours, on-demand through us at no additional charge.
This actually surprises us as some of our members really don’t know that. So you may want to share that with your colleagues as well to make sure that they know as members of the ICS, that they do get those hours for free. Again, we take the occasional phone call from long-standing members who have missed that, that they get those hours through us at no cost. So make sure that you share that with your colleagues as well. Also, make sure that you do complete your mandated education as a part of that process. You have to get the implicit bias awareness. You have to take the sexual harassment prevention training course you have to take the the Alzheimer’s awareness course Alzheimer’s in dimensions, dementias related conditions course and you have to go through the mandated reporter training as well that’s actually offered through DCFS. And you can get that for free. Whether or not you’re a member of the ICS. That one is already free. But all of those courses you can take other than a mandated reporter which is free through the state but all of the other three are also a part of our on-demand catalog. So you can take those at no cost if you’re an ICS member. Hopefully, this helps you out, get renewed on time, and we’ll catch you next week.
