Do I need to complete continuing education to renew my license?

The law requires that you must complete mandatory continuing education prior to renewal of your license. Submission of your renewal application is an indication that you have completed the mandatory continuing education in board approved activities. If you have not done so, please complete your continuing education before you submit your renewal.

We audit a percentage of each profession and request the licensee to document the continuing education that they completed. If you cannot provide the documentation or if you did not complete the required continuing education, an administrative complaint will be filed against your license for failure to comply with the requirements of the Public Health Code. The complaint will result in disciplinary action which can include a fine, completion of additional continuing education and probation. This will be a permanent record on your license and will be reported to Federal databanks as required by law and other states will have access to that information.

For additional information regarding the continuing education requirements, review the continuing education requirements for your profession under the licensing information section.
