After you enroll in this online course, you must complete it within 1 year of purchase. You decide when you start and complete this course.
You will purchase or rent Fox’s Human Physiology (13th-15th eds.), McGraw-Hill (publisher), review the corresponding PowerPoints, and must pass 16 chapter exams with scores of 12/15 or higher. Each exam will consist of 15 multiple-choice questions taken online. You will have unlimited time to complete each exam. You may retake each exam until you achieve a passing score. After submitting answers, you will see an overall score and the questions they missed.
We encourage you to use the practice testing in Exams and review the PowerPoints in Course Documents online, and check out the articles and videos in the Web Links section. Since this course is an independent study, there are no class discussions, essays, or papers.

Academic Rigor
This online course is comparable in coverage to a 3-credit-hour undergraduate course and will satisfy anatomy and physiology requirement.
Professional Liability Insurance
We require Professional Liability Insurance. The following organizations offer professional liability insurance. This list is not complete. We take no responsibility for the quality of the insurance chosen. Professional Liability Insurance may also be available through other organizations. It is the responsibility of the individual practitioner to investigate and determine the Professional Liability Insurance that best meets their needs.Oath For Practitioners
Attached is the oath for practitioners. We invite all members of the community to create the correct ceremony recognizing their personal achievement of national certification. We encourage practitioners to have someone whom they love and respect administer the oath in a ceremony that others witness.
