Effective April 15, 2020, the NBSTSA Board of Directors has approved several temporary policies in response to the COVID-19 crisis. These policies are now on our website via a large banner link from the homepage – nbstsa.org/nbstsa-response-covid-19-coronavirus. Those policies are as follows:
We continue to monitor the ongoing situation in the United States, along with the nationwide and regional stay-at-home orders, and to assess any additional changes that may be necessary. Further announcements may be made, and you can follow them on our website along with any electronic communications. While we are following all state and local directives, our staff remains available to you from 7:30 am – 4:30 pm (MDT) weekdays at 800-707-0057. We will not be able to send paper CST or CSFA certificates or certification cards at this time. However, your certification can be verified at any time at nbstsa.org/verify-credentials. Since we are unable to receive FedEx or UPS deliveries at this time, please send any correspondence that must be mailed via USPS. Online applications and renewal forms are highly recommended at this time. For information on our Testing Services, please refer to our website. We fully understand how important maintaining your certification is to you, your patients and the institutions you work for. We hope the steps we have taken will be helpful to you in that endeavor.
