New Mexico OT CEUs: License Renewal and Online Courses

Full OT/OTA CEU Requirements in New Mexico

Here are the occupational therapy continuing education requirements for coursework in New Mexico:

These were copied from the New Mexico Administrative Code, updated 2022.

§ 16.15.4.8 - ANNUAL CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

A. Every licensed occupational therapist and occupational therapy assistant must earn a minimum of 15 continuing education contact hours per year during each year of licensure. Continuing education contact hours must be earned prior to license renewal the following year. The first year during which 15 contact hours must be earned is the year beginning on October 1st following license issuance and ending on the following September 30th. Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants licensed during the first year will be expected to pay the annual renewal fee.

I recommend you read the rules in full.
