As a certification board, NCBTMB’s role is not to lobby, however, we fully support the efforts of our professional associations doing during this time. We also encourage you to remain up-to-date with your professional association of choice, as well as the expert online resources—including information from the CDC, WHO and your local health authorities—as this rapidly-changing situation unfolds.
