The Maryland Board of Occupational Therapy Practice licenses individuals seeking occupational therapy licensure.
The State Board of Occupational Therapy Practice (the “Board”) operates under the provisions of Title 10 of the Health Occupations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland. The Board is the licensing authority of occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants in the State of Maryland. The Board is mandated to regulate the practice of occupational therapy in Maryland by licensing qualified occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants, establishing fees, maintaining a current roster of all licensees, promulgating regulations for the practice of occupational therapy, verification of credentials, issuance of licenses, establish requirements for a verification of completion of continuing education, investigation of complaints based on alleged violations of regulations and statutes, formal and informal disciplining of licensees, and create committees as deemed appropriate to advise the Board.
A license is valid for a 2-year term and expires on June 30 of odd or even-numbered years.
Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapist Assistants are required to complete a minimum of 24 CE hours within the 2-year period preceding application for renewal.
- At least 16 hours must be related to occupational therapy principles and procedures.
- No more than 8 hours may be earned through occupational therapy role-related activities.
- CE hours cannot be carried over from one renewal period to the next.
- A licensee shall retain supporting documents as proof as completion of continuing education requirements for a period of 4 years after the date of renewal. These documents may be audited by the Board at any time.
EXCEPTIONS:
- The Board recognizes maintenance of current NBCOT certification as fulfilling CE requirements for renewal
- Those who have been licensed for less than 1 year before renewal are exempt from CE requirements for the first renewal period
