President’s Welcome: November 2017 Newsletter

Welcome to TAICEP Talk. One would think that with many of us returning from summer holidays and after the successful conference in Rome that TAICEP members would be concentrating on their day jobs. Luckily, TAICEP members don’t take time off from helping one another and sharing information. This edition of the newsletter includes updates on the conference, important information on our association’s Strategic Plan, and useful information on joint studies and joint degrees through EMREX. This edition of our Newsletter also includes an overview of fraud and degree mills including an update on the Axact degree mill scandal, and useful information on working with secondary school education that differs from the local education system. As if that was not enough, we also have articles education and licensure of health care professionals in the US, secondary education in Scandinavia with a comparison to the US system, an exploration of a virtual organization for assessing international credentials in Sweden, a good-bye to a long-standing supporter of the profession, and more!

Members will be especially interested in the article on the new Certificate Program. This was a high priority for members and we are excited about moving forward on the pilot of this important initiative. Will you or a colleague be in the first class of TAICEP Certificate holders? Please read more about it in our TAICEP News section.
