Continuing Education
Continuing competency requirements for NBCOT can be found at www.nbcot.org. Missouri Board of Occupational Therapy Continuing Competency RequirementsThe Missouri Board of Occupational Therapy has developed a continuing competency rule that parallels that of NBCOT so that Occupational Therapy practitioners in Missouri do not have to meet two separate competency requirements. Current regulations and requirements for renewing licensure in Missouri can be found on the website for the Missouri Board of Occupational Therapy. All Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistants will need to renew their licenses by June 30, 2009. You will need to accrue 24 CCCs between July 1, 2007, and June 30, 2009. While you do not have to send in a record of your continuing competency participation with your licensure application, the Missouri Board does recommend that you keep a log of your credits in case you are selected for an audit. (Therapists and Therapy Assistants to be audited are selected randomly.) A log template is available at http://pr.mo.gov/octherapy.asp. Opportunities to Earn CCUs
Continuing education seminars are another common way to earn CEUs. You can also start a study group, read an article, or give a presentation to colleagues. Specific guidelines regarding eligible activities can be found at the MBOT website. To post an ad for a course here, contact Jennifer at website@motamo.net.
