I want better clarification of what "be a
registered/licensed/recognized health professional in their country"
actually means to IBLCE. My biggest issue is the exemption from the
course-by-course evaluation for "health professionals". I would like
a clear list of professions considered "health professionals" by
IBLCE. Is a medical assistant considered a health professional? What
about a massage therapist or a phlebotomist? What about dental
hygienists? They are licensed/certified/registered and they work in
the medical profession.
My college transcript would be scrutinized, but a dental hygienist's
wouldn't be? I consider my bachelors of engineering in biomedical
engineering to be a far more comprehensive education than a 9 month
certificate program, or an associates degree. I understand what they
are trying to do, but the way the requirements are written falls short
of achieving quality.
All IBLCE says regarding this is
"* Meet ONE of the following requirements
****** Be a registered/licensed/recognized health professional in
their country*******
o Or have completed both of the following general education
requirements:
* 8 general education courses of one semester, or equivalent, in length
* 6 additional continuing education subjects"
