This section applies to all renewal applicants but shall not apply to applicants for the first renewal of a license granted by examination. This section shall not apply to applicants for an initial license by examination, reciprocity, or endorsement.
To qualify for the renewal of a licensee, an applicant shall have completed a minimum of twelve (12) contact hours of approved continuing education in accordance with §§ 7305 and 7306 during the two (2)-year period preceding the date the license expires; ten percent (10%) of the total required continuing education shall be in the subjects determined by the Director as public health priorities of the District, which shall be duly published every five (5) years or as deemed appropriate. Beginning with the licensure term starting on October 1, 2017, the continuing education required in this section shall include two (2) hours of LGBTQ continuing education.
A continuing education contact hour shall be valid only if it is part of a program or activity that the Board approves in accordance with § 7305 and § 7306.
A renewal applicant shall certify, under penalty of perjury, whether he or she has met the requirement of § 7304.2.
The Board may require proof of completion of the required continuing education. Such proof shall include the following information:
If the license of an occupational therapy assistant expires while serving in the military whenever the United States is engaged in active military operations against any foreign power or hostile force, and the required continuing education hours were not earned during the renewal period or periods, the licensee shall be required to complete the needed continuing education hours no later than six (6) months after discharge from active service, return to inactive military status, or return to a post in the United States from an active war zone.
The continuing education contact hours completed to satisfy the requirement under § 7304.6 shall not be counted toward meeting the continuing education requirement for the next licensing period.
The credits received for each approved continuing education program shall be applied in full toward meeting the continuing education requirements for each renewal period. The proration of continuing education credits over more than one (1) renewal cycle shall not be allowed.
A renewal applicant who is licensed to practice in a jurisdiction other than the District shall meet the requirements of this section in order to be eligible for license renewal in the District.
