!!Agenda 
Discussion and resolution of the question of case studies submitted to IMMA before certification.

The current requirements as published on [https://www.meta-health.info/meta-health/professional-standards/] are:
*Prerequisite: META-Health Level 1 (Foundation) Training or equivalent
*Minimum 125 hours of training (generally over 6 months)
*Clear understanding of META-Health methodology for Analysis & Therapy __demonstrated by the submitted case studies__, accepted by accredited Master Trainer and/or the Certification Committee
*Ability to distinguish between typical symptom qualities in Brain Stem, Cerebellum, Cerebral Medulla and Cerebral Cortex with the help of charts/wiki /META-Health material

*Create an individual results-oriented META-Health Action/Therapy Plan based on the symptom(s) and META-meaning found
*Ability to use an emotional/stress trigger technique, belief change and real-life solutions, __shown in case studies__
*__Minimum 5 high quality, well-documented cases with clients submitted and uploaded to IMMA database__
*Trainee needs to be willing to work on own health and personal growth issues
*Theory testing through IMMA-accredited theory exam
*Practical testing by Master Trainer or Certification Committee using Assessment Form

The current challenge is that not all Master Trainers are used to informing their students, that case studies are to be submitted to IMMA, even anonymized,.for to be used for internal research.
There might be resistance, because students fear that privacy is violated.
!!!Resolution 
*Master Trainers inform their students correctly and introduce them to IMMA /MHI on entering the training, so that trust can be built and communication channels are clear.
*Data privacy according to EU law is strictly kept by IMMA/MHI's handling of data.
*Local sub-organizations as e.g. India handle the cases themselves without the need to submit directly to the database. Summaries and interesting findings are to be shared within the community at appropriate times like on Conferences or in articles.
*No person is forced to submit or publish cases they prefer to keep private. In these individual cases, communication with the Committee (certification@meta-health.net) or the Board is recommended either directly by the candidate, or through their Master Trainer/mentor.
*Case studies should usually have been reviewed and signed by the Master Trainer/mentor, before then being submitted by the candidate themself.
*At this point, case studies are to be submitted as doc, odt or pdf files to office@meta-health.net, to be prepared for the new database by the research team in accordance to data protection rules.

All attendees accepted this resolution and agreed to inform their students and fellow Master Trainers accordingly.
