Now it’s time for the big moment. Conveniently, you can renew your license online.

Where can Rhode Island OT professionals get the best deals on CEUs?

At OT Potential, all of our courses are built around helping you get new evidence into practice.

But, what good is evidence-based practice if you are not reimbursed appropriately for it? Our local associations do SUCH important advocacy work to protect our reimbursements and scope of practice. That’s why we’ve made it part of our mission to support these associations.

So, we have a win-win proposition for you. Join OT Potential using the promo code “RhodeIsland” to receive a 15% discount—and we’ll donate 15% of your total to RIOTA.

🎉 Price of OT Potential with Rhode Island discount = $84.15 (Reg $99)
🎉 Donation amount to RIOTA = $12.62

The best part? Whenever you renew your OT Potential membership, it will be at your discounted price. AND, we’ll make another donation to RIOTA.

This is one of the cheapest ways to earn all of your required Rhode Island OT CEUs, and you can feel good doing it because you are giving back to your state association.💜

(If OT Potential is not right for you, I am also a long-time fan of Medbridge. I even offer a Medbridge Promo Code for 40% off right here.)
