NCBTMB vs. MBLEx Round lll
2 June 2009Yes, hind sight is 20/20. If the NCBTMB were to have used this energy, time and money to make changes to their exam in the first place, they wouldn’t be loosing face in the sight of the massage industry not to mention saving a few bucks. I can see where they are coming from, desperation of being squeezed out of the exam world, but Florida and now Oregon. (Big Sigh) Cant we all just get along?
It looks like Oregon is reinstating the acceptance of the NCETMB and may even loose the funding for the Massage Board. Living across the river, I can honestly say with out a doubt that the poor state of Oregon is only getting poorer. Not just in Money management, but brains as well. They cut funding from schools and now licensing regulatory bodies who maintain professionalism and regulate the laws set forth to protect the citizen’s of their state. Ouch, can anyone say mismanagement of funds?
The switch from the NCETMB to the MBLEx for the government agencies was not personal (certificate vs. gov. license), but it seems that the NCBTMB is making it personal. They went after the current Pres. of the FSMTB’s state and now the past Pres. state. I admire their drive, but until they improve on their “issues” I cant support them fully. I am sure it is coming from a good place, its just hard to see what that good place is when their is lawsuits and backbiting.
