Why Choose This Maryland Package?
This package is designed for Maryland massage therapists who need continuing education in ethics, communicable disease including HIV/AIDS, and diversity, cultural competence, or implicit bias. It combines four focused courses into one discounted package, making it convenient to complete these important areas of continuing education.
At $79, the package is discounted by more than 20% compared with purchasing the courses individually. The courses are available online, allowing you to download your course materials, complete your exams online, and receive your certificates upon successful completion.
Maryland currently requires massage therapists to complete 24 CE hours every two years, including 3 hours of ethics or jurisprudence, 3 hours of communicable disease education including HIV/AIDS, and 2 hours in diversity, cultural competence, or implicit bias. This package addresses those specific subject areas but does not provide the remaining 16 massage-related CE hours required for renewal. A current CPR certificate is also required. Always verify the current Maryland Board of Massage Therapy requirements before completing your renewal.
