CCMH Halifax offers a variety of Continuing Education Courses ONLINE* allowing
therapists across the country to avoid the cost of travel and accommodation, providing
an affordable option for gaining credits. These courses are an excellent opportunity for
therapists to revisit the science or lecture-based curriculum of their massage therapy
education.
CCMH Halifax is currently offering two types of lecture series’:
Mini-Seminar Series courses in Anatomy & Physiology (AP), Regional Anatomy
(RA) and 3 new Pathology courses!
Full-Seminar Series courses in AP, Neurology, RA, Pathology, and Professional
Development.
Mini-Seminar Series courses can be taken at any time.
Full-Seminar Series courses are offered at specific dates. See the course descriptions
or contact Jennifer Stuart at [email protected] for upcoming dates of
each course.
Registration forms are available from CCMH by contacting Jennifer Stuart at
[email protected]. Once a completed form and payment is submitted to
CCMH, the therapist will be sent an enrollment email message with details on how to
enter and complete the course. There are no prerequisites for any Continuing
Education Courses open to Massage Therapists, offered by CCMH Halifax.
*All CCMH Halifax Online Continuing Education Courses incorporate evaluation methods which
participants must successfully complete prior to obtaining a course certificate. Evaluations are typically in
the form of quizzes or tests and a final exam. Successful completion is defined by achieving a minimum
grade of 70% overall. The grading scheme is outlined at the beginning of each course.

of beneficence and autonomy as the foundation of ethical conduct. We will also explore
the basic elements of ethical theories and the relationship between law and ethics.
The second part of this course will look at the specific application of the ethical principle
of respect for persons in the context of the ethical and legal requirements to obtain
informed consent, ensure patient privacy and confidentiality, provide fairness and equity
in the delivery of healthcare services and maintain appropriate professional boundaries.
Students will also be introduced to a model for decision-making that will facilitate their
efforts to work through ethical issues in the context of health care practice. Finally, this
course will also serve to familiarize students with health regulation (RHPA, the Massage
Therapy Act and the Health Care Consent Act), relevant to the practice of massage
therapy in Ontario.
