Here's the link to the new curriculum requirements on the Boards' website: http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=ocamodulechunk&L=4&L0=Home&...

Jessica, these Board meetings are open to the public so you should attend the next meeting. I bet these students will get licensed, the Board probably just wants clarification regarding the schools' curriculum and how it translates into the new requirements.

I know CMS has a 650 hr. program. I guess they don't have the right amount of hours in the right subjects

I go to every Board meeting (I'm the director of The Massage School) in order to keep up with the new requirements. There is a new form for translating school's curriculum to see if it meets the new requirements, perhaps the school you mentioned is unfamiliar with the new form, it's a little confusing. At our school we've matched our new curriculum to the new requirements exactly so there will be no problems. We now have an 800 hour program to satisfy the new requirements (up from 500) Because of all the new changes I recommend that all school's send representatives to the Board meetings to keep up.

I would love to be a fly on the wall for this one. LOL. There are going to be a lot of PO people there that can't get licensed

Really? The next Board meeting is scheduled for August 20th, this should be interesting.

I know new grads from the Central Mass School of Massage have been effected by this also. They where told they need to wait till the next board meeting

There were 2 schools operating without licenses in the Boston area. The John Winsolow massage school, and Dovestar. The board chose not to license graduates of these programs. Of the schools left, Cortiva, Spatech, The Massage School, and Bancroft, no graduates have been denied licensure.

I have been hear via facebook about new grads not being able to get their licenses bc some schools have not satisfied the new education requirements for the Board of Massage Therapy. How is this possible?

@ Lisa Just curious if MA LMT's who are not insured with AMTA are welcome to volunteer at this event or is it blocked for just AMTA members exclusively or can members of other organizations volunteer directly with the charity.. Also are students permited and if yes are they being required to be members of AMTA to volunteer. Thanks
