ETHICS REMEDIAL EDUCATION

EBAS Ethics Remedial Education

One-on-one education sessions, delivered by an independent consultant with a regulatory background. A board that requires remedial education in an order can name EBAS Ethics Remedial Education to satisfy it.

WHAT THE BOARD GETS

The Assessment and Remedial Education From One Provider

Boards that require both can name EBAS for each and keep the two separate.

ONE-ON-ONE WITH A REGULATORY CONSULTANT

Each education session is one hour, with one licensee and one consultant who has worked on the board's side of a disciplinary process.

A WRITTEN SUMMARY FOR THE BOARD

Every education session produces a written summary that EBAS sends to the board. There is no score on it.

SEPARATE FROM THE ASSESSMENT

Consultants have access only to what EBAS publishes, such as the scoring rubric and the sample assessment, and not to the assessment scenarios. EBAS does not evaluate a licensee's performance in a session.

Simpler Orders to Manage

EBAS handles registration, payment, and paperwork for the assessment and the education sessions, so board staff have less to track.

HOW IT WORKS

From the Order to the Written Summary

1. The board names it in the order.

The order sets the number of education sessions, the category, and a window to complete them in.

2. The licensee registers and pays through EBAS.

A board can require as many education sessions as the case calls for, booked one hour at a time.

3. EBAS introduces the licensee to a consultant.

The consultant reviews the board's correspondence and the licensee's account of what happened.

4. The education session.

One hour, virtual, working through the case against the category the board assigned. The licensee gets a conversation about their own situation rather than a course.

5. The board receives the written summary.

What was discussed, what the licensee raised, and how they engaged. EBAS issues the certificate of completion.

THE CONSULTANTS

Independent Consultants With a Regulatory Background

Education sessions are delivered by independent consultants with a regulatory background: former board members, registrars, board counsel, and investigators. who have sat on the board's side of a disciplinary process. EBAS runs the program and handles the administration. It does not credential the consultant, set the content, or sit in on the session.

ASSIGNMENT GUIDANCE

How to Write It Into an Order

  • Set the number of education sessions. They book one hour at a time, so an order can require as many as the case calls for. Every education session produces a written summary.
  • Name the category. The consultant works through the case against the category the board assigned. Name it in the order the same way as an assessment category.
  • Decide when the education sessions happen. Use one of the sequences below. EBAS does not recommend one sequence over another.
  • Set a completion window. EBAS handles the rest. EBAS handles registration, payment, the introduction to a consultant, the certificate of completion, and each written summary to the board.
COMMON PATTERNS

Before or After the Assessment

An order can place the education sessions before the assessment or after it, or require them only if the licensee does not pass, followed by a retake.
