Lindamood, NCBTMB&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>&#8220;NCBTMB whole-heartedly supports licensure through our certification program<\/em> <em>as the best licensing path for the massage professional. Over 30 years of<\/em> <em>national policy and precedent in the healthcare field, as well as 16 years of<\/em> <em>successful implementation by the NCBTMB favoring licensure through<\/em> <em>certification, supports this successful inter-relationship.<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>NCBTMB&#8217;s exam program has successfully raised the standards for massage therapy and thereby protected the public health, safety and welfare since 1992.<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Today, in 33 of 39 states that regulate massage, our licensure through certification programs have successfully helped transform massage into the acknowledged, respected profession it has become. NCBTMB&#8217;s licensing through certification programs have demonstrated their value to students, schools, regulators and businesses, with consumers as the current, and perhaps the most vital, audience.<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>We believe NCBTMB&#8217;s licensure programs are inextricably tied to the future growth and credibility of the profession in the United States.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCBTMB Issues Statement Regarding the use of its Certification Tests as the National Standard for Entry-Level Licensure Exams OAKBROOK TERRACE, Illinois &#8211; The Board of the National Certification Board for[&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,1],"tags":[895,3,39],"class_list":["post-76","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-massage-reflexology","category-uncategorized","tag-ceu","tag-massage","tag-ncbtmb"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Massage CEU - I found this very interesting.
