Licensed GXMO/LSO Order Form for Continuing Education Products

****LICENSED GXMO INFORMATION****

**Beginning April 1, 2012, the Ohio Department of Health has approved self-learning (home study) products for license renewal. You no longer have to attend in person presentations! The advantages are as follows:
  • You no longer have to be away from work and home for 2 days and have associated travel expenses.
  • You may select either DVD, CD, hard copy booklets or published books books as listed below.
  • You can order anytime in advance of the expiration date of your license.
  • You do NOT have to stay in Radiation Protection & Safety anymore. You have a HUGE selection of NEW topics for your expanded knowledge base.
  • Home studies are LESS expensive than in person presentations, especially if you're paying it YOURSELF.
  • You may work at your leisure.
  • No one has come anywhere near failing the post tests since it's OPEN BOOK!
  • Employers do NOT need to rearrange their staff and patient schedules to accommodate conference time.
  • Doctors & Nurses can get ONA and AMA CE credit by using our GXMO/LSO CE Order Form tab on the web site.
  • Our staff is always available to assist with your personal needs.
If you DO have a GXMO license and have ordered courses you want to complete again, please click on the Online CE Post Test Printing tab for details.

How self-learning (home study) products work: You select either a DVD/ hard copy published booklet/published textbook or CD on a topic of interest for your needed CE credits. A single gxmo selection includes 1 study topic of your choice and 1 post test. You submit the order form with payment as check or money order. We fill the order the same day we receive it in the S.T.A.R.S. office. You complete the reading or watching of the content, select the answers on the post test and return the completed post test to the S.T.A.R.S. office for evaluation. You need to get a 75% or better to receive a certificate of completion. If you do not, we send the post test back to you for correction and re-evaluate it again at NO charge. It's an OPEN BOOK test. Don't get too EXCITED! You can do it successfully the first time!!

How to renew your GXMO license in Ohio:

The Ohio Dept. of Health (ODH) requires a minimum of 12 continuing education credits (ceus) to be completed every 2 years (your biennium) BEFORE your license expires. You may do more than 12 ceus, but not less than 12 ceus, if you so choose. Ceus in excess of 12 cannot be carried over to the next biennium.

You will receive a hard copy renewal notice by mail from the ODH 60 days BEFORE your license expires. It is your responsibility to amend your personal information to the ODH whenever you change your name, address or place of employment as soon as possible by using the ODH website or contacting the ODH by telephone at 614 752-4319 for assistance. Failure to receive an ODH notice is not an acceptable reason for failing to renew on time. You can add completion of clinical modules to your GXMO license on the ODH web site.

Your ODH notice informs you that you may renew online or request a hard copy form from them. You must have your S.T.A.R.S. certificate(s) of completion immediately available when you renew since your course title(s), number of ceus, and ODH accreditation number(s) and date(s) of completion are printed on it.

You can renew immediately when you receive your notice or you have 30 days to complete the renewal process and payment to the ODH after your license expires. Online renewal requires your credit card for payment. If you chose hard copy renewal, you may submit a check or money order.

You and/or your employer can view your renewed license on line upon completion of the process. Problems that exist with renewal should be addressed to the ODH by calling for assistance.

S.T.A.R.S. personnel are NOT responsible for your renewal. Please direct any questions or needed assistance with renewal to the ODH personnel. You may also want to check the ODH web site periodically for changes that may have occurred during your biennium.

GXMOs must notify the ODH in writing within 30 days of any changes in the physician providing direct supervision. If your scope of practice changes (e.g. chiropractic to podiatric), a competency form must be completed and submitted to the ODH.

The ODH website is: http://www.odh.ohio.gov/odhPrograms/rp/rlic/ristatus.aspx
