Join us on January 29, 2026, for our first Regulatory Education Program (REP) session of the year, designed to help registrants understand the currency requirements they must meet for Annual Renewal Registration. This session builds on the 2025 currency webinar and focuses on what the College requires under the Registration Regulation and Registration Program Policy.

Participants will learn how to accurately report their currency hours and activities, what qualifies as direct patient care, how to address deficiencies from the annual audit, and the requirements for each class of registration – including when returning to active practice. The session will also outline the evidence registrants must provide to support their reported hours.

Key takeaways:

  • How to correctly report and track currency hours and activities.
  • Gain a better understanding of direct patient care requirements as they relate to currency.
  • Guidance on addressing currency deficiencies.

Register today to strengthen your understanding and stay fully prepared for reporting currency at renewal!
