All active and inactive licenses expire on June 30, 2012. The next renewal period will begin approximately in April 2012. Instructions will be mailed in March, 2012. In order to be eligible for licensure renewal in 2012, you must have earned 12 contact hours between January 1 and December 31, 2011. The 12 contact hours shall consist of a minimum of 8 contact hours related to occupational therapy principles and procedures and a maximum of 4 contact hours through occupational therapy role-related activities. Those individuals who were originally licensed after July 1, 2011 do not need any hours for the 2012 renewal.
All AOTA courses, as well as courses offered by AOTA Approved Providers, are granted pre-approval by the Maryland Board of Occupational Therapy Practice. Participants will need only to retain a copy of the certificate of completion as documentation verifying completion of approved contact hours.

Maryland Board of Occupational Therapy Practice: http://dhmh.maryland.gov/botp/
The Board was formed in 1979 to regulate the practice of occupational therapy in the State of Maryland. The main goal is to protect the Maryland public through the licensure and regulation of occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants. The Board reviews the credentials of all applicants and strives to ensure that only qualified individuals are permitted to practice occupational therapy in Maryland. The Board is a place where the public can call with inquiries about licensed individuals. Also, consumers can file a complaint against practitioners they feel may be in possible violation of the law. Please contact the board at 410-402-8560 for more information.
