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 convenient package.

The 3-hour Ethics: Contraindications to Massage course distinguishes this package from Package 1 and provides an opportunity to explore ethical decision-making specifically in relation to contraindications and massage therapy practice.

At $79, this package is discounted by more than 20% compared with purchasing the four courses individually. All courses are available online, allowing you to download your course materials, complete your exams online, and receive your certificates upon successful completion.

Maryland massage therapists are required to complete 24 CE hours every two years, including specific education in ethics or jurisprudence, communicable disease including HIV/AIDS, and diversity, cultural competence, or implicit bias. This package covers those subject areas but does not provide the remaining massage-related CE hours required for renewal. Always verify the current Maryland Board of Massage Therapy requirements before completing your renewal.

The Center for Massage Therapy Continuing Education is an NCBTMB Approved Provider (#409296-00).
