REGISTRATION
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Professional membership with CEPNZ is not equivalent to registration. Registration is conferred by, and Annual Practising Certificates (APCs) issued by, the Clinical Physiologist Registration Board (CPRB), an independent body representing clinical physiologists (http://www.cprb.org.nz/). A clinical exercise physiologist seeking registration with the CPRB must be a Professional member of CEPNZ and be approved by the CEPNZ Board for registration with the CPRB. 

​

Registration with the CPRB is the next step after your Professional membership is approved. You must hold an APC to maintain your Professional membership.

​

The registration process with the CPRB is conducted with input from CEPNZ. When registration is awarded by the CPRB, the member’s name is listed on the public Register of Clinical Physiologists. Their name will be listed on the Register indefinitely, and may only be removed upon receipt of formal notification of resignation. Only those of the Register can be issued APCs.

​

Through the APC process, professionals show their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as adequate to maintain their level of competency to practice. The requirements for the issue of an APC include, but may not be limited to, providing evidence of current membership of the professional society and completion and submission of the APC application form signed by an appropriate clinical supervisor. When requested, registrants must produce: evidence of appropriate CPD, evidence of successful completion of any competency assessments, and evidence of professional society certification.
