There is a streamlined review process in place for registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech language pathologists and audiologists who have been educated in the United States. The streamlined review means that if you have completed a program accredited by the appropriate U.S. accreditation agency, then to meet the education requirement we need to receive directly from the school an official verification that you graduated from the program. The verification of graduation must contain the official school seal and signature. The requirements for each profession are as follows:
- Nurses: who have graduated from an entry-level program accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), or The NLN Commission for Nursing Education Accreditation (CNEA).
- Occupational Therapists: who have graduated from a program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education.
- Physical Therapists: who have graduated from a program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education of the American Physical Therapy Association.
- Speech Language Pathologists and Audiologists: who have graduated from a program accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
