EXCELLENCE - We promote quality outcomes through learning and continuous performance improvement. MQA Leads National Discussion on Technology Trends in Continuing Education at AASCB Conference In January, leadership from the Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling, represented Florida by contributing to a national presentation on technology trends in continuing education at the American Association of State Counseling Boards (AASCB) Annual Conference. Aimed at enhancing public protection through advocacy and educational initiatives, the AASCB invited Florida to showcase how technology has transformed MQA’s processes and improved customer service. MQA leadership explained how its use of an electronic tracking system helps practitioners achieve compliance with continuing education requirements at renewal, as Florida remains one of the few states maintaining this renewal requirement. In doing so, MQA not only upheld its commitment to protect the public by ensuring that health care practitioners are up to date on the latest health care skills and practices but also learned about the significant impact that advanced technologies have had on the counseling profession. MQA is committed to keeping health care practitioners informed about bills that may impact their professions, as nearly 2,000 bills were introduced and over 300 bills were enrolled during the 2024 legislative session.
