Full OT/OTA CEU Requirements in Oregon

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

These were copied from the Oregon Administrative Rules, effective 08/12/20.
339-020-0010 CE Requirements for Current Licensees
(1) All current licensees shall obtain a minimum of 30 points of CE from Board approved categories during the two years immediately preceding the date of the license renewal;
(2) Maintenance of current NBCOT Certification (National Board of Certification in Occupational Therapy) may be used to satisfy the requirements for CE under subsection (1) of this rule but may not be used to satisfy the cultural competency CE requirements of OAR 339-020-0025 or the pain management CE requirements of OAR 339-020-0015.
In addition, there are mandatory legislative requirements required of ALL licensees:
1. You are required to complete 1 hour on cultural competency (you choose the course) during every renewal.
2. You are required to complete the OHA pain management module during every renewal period.

This doc goes on to describe other acceptable activities. I recommend you read the rules in full.

Steps for Renewing Your OT License

Step 1: Look up your OT/OTA license.

To begin the process, I always double-check that my license is displaying correctly. You can look up your Oregon occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant license here.

Step 2: Confirm the Oregon OT continuing education requirements.

It’s always good to double check for any updates to your licensing cycle. You can do so with the resources above. And, please reach out to me if you see any discrepancies.

Step 3: Earn your CEU hours.

Ok, now that you know your requirements, it is time to start earning those CEUs! There are of course a lot of options out there, but we hope you consider checking out the courses offered by OT Potential.
