Question
22. Can a session on professionalism count toward the Specific Qualification requirements of Section 3 of the U.S. Qualification Standards (USQS) for signing an NAIC opinion?
Section 3.1.1 of the USQS lists the topics that must be considered for the Specific Qualification basic and continuing education requirements. Although professionalism is not one of the topics listed, a course may include material that covers both professionalism and at least one of the topics in Section 3.1.1 (Section 3.3 and Section 3.1.1).
Each actuary should make a good-faith determination whether a course on professionalism meets the requirements of 3.1.1. The Committee on Qualifications encourages actuaries to obtain at least some of their professionalism hours by reviewing the Code of Professional Conduct, actuarial standards of practice, and the USQS.
