AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Civil Administrative Code to expand continuing education requirements for certain health care professionals by explicitly allowing simulation training to count toward mandatory continuing education credits. Specifically, the bill defines "health care professional" to include licensed or registered individuals in several key medical fields: physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and surgical assistants/technologists. Under the new provision, simulation training conducted by an approved sponsor—as outlined in the specific professional licensing acts or related administrative rules—will be considered valid for earning continuing education credits. This change provides healthcare professionals with an additional, potentially more flexible option for meeting their ongoing educational requirements, recognizing that simulation-based training can be an effective method for maintaining and improving professional skills and knowledge.
