Approval in Wyoming

The mission of the Wyoming Board of Occupational Therapy is to develop, impose and enforce standards which must be met by individuals in order to receive a license as an occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant to insure public protection; receive, investigate, and take appropriate action with respect to complaints; and promulgation of rules and regulations.

Each licensee must complete 24 hours of continuing education every two years. A licensee who becomes licensed during an even-numbered year prior to July 31 is not required to provide evidence of CE as part of their renewal that year. A licensee who becomes licensed during an odd-numbered year need only complete and report 12 hours of continuing education at the first even-numbered year after they become licensed.    

CE hours may only be submitted if they are earned during the 3 years immediately preceding the annual license renewal.

If a course is not sponsored by the NBCOT, AOTA, or WYOTA, the licensee must also present a written course description of the course on the CE log sheet.

Licensees are required to keep documentation of their CE hours, to be submitted to the board upon audit.
