It is always a challenge when you get a different answer from JCAHPO
depending on the person who is reviewing the CEC application.

I've received JCAHPO credit for this type of course without an RN or MD.
Their policy for physician-only lectures is :
*D. FACULTY QUALIFICATIONS *
*Disease, Medical Diagnosis, Medical Treatment, or Surgery *
*A course that involves disease, medical diagnosis, medical treatment, or
surgery must be taught (classroom) or principally authored (distance
learning) by a medical doctor (MD) or a doctor of osteopathy (DO). *
*If a course is presented or authored on disease, diagnosis, treatment, or
surgery with a non-MD as a co-instructor, an MD or a DO must play the major
role in the development and delivery of the course. *
There are a great number of photogs that are doing their own injections,
and having to also image patients at the same time- some of us for many
years. I think their perspective would be more relevant to photographers
than from an RN that is only performing the IV. Again, I get that the OPS
doesn't want to appear as "promoting" this type of practice. But what's the
difference? If someone sits in a lecture on IV FA and goes back to their
practice thinking they are OK to inject, it doesn't matter if an RN or a
photog gave the lecture.
As an aside- as someone who applies for CEC through JCAHPO, OPS, ANA,
ASORN multiple times a year, it is becoming more and more frustrating
dealing with organization's interpretation of their speaker qualifications
and what they deem relevant and meaningful.
Just my 3 cents...

Techniques during FAs
Darrin- Great question! In order to receive JCAHPO CECs, JCAHPO requires
an RN or MD to give this talk.

Just curious- why do you need an RN to give this talk? I’m not trying to
stir things up, but for those of us that are legal to inject fluorescein in
our state, why not ask within the OPS? I’m sure that whoever gives the talk
will need to precede it with an OPS disclaimer.

Hello-
This is a call to any potential RN's that would be interested in giving a
talk to the OPS annual education meeting, about injection management, FA
reactions.
If you are interested and available about this course please contact me
directly.
Thanks for your interest,
