Maintaining Recognized Practician (RP) Status
The TT journey is an ongoing one - many describe it as a “way of life”. The commitment to ongoing personal and professional development, as a Recognized Practician, is as important as that of the journey to become an RP. The personal and professional development of an RP is as crucial as that of other health care providers.
ATTN encourages and supports their Recognized Practicians through a variety of opportunities for development, encompassing educational, service and through the practice of TT.
