Missouri-licensed occupational therapists have a biennial license renewal with a June 30th deadline. Twenty-four (24) hours of continuing education are required in order to renew a license (1 CCC = 1 hour). Fifty percent (50%) of continuing education must directly relate to delivery of occupational therapy services. There is no limit on home study if AOTA approved.
The reason for continuing education is to ensure the highest possible standards for the occupational therapists profession. All licensees are required to participate in continuing education as a licensing condition.
Professional Development Resources is an American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA)approved provider of continuing education (#3159). The assignment of AOTA CEUs does not imply endorsement of specific course content, products, or clinical procedures by AOTA.
