Continuing competence activities must be complete by May 31 of the renewal year.  Continuing competence activities must be related to roles and responsibilities in occupational therapy and must serve to protect the public by enhancing the licensee's continuing competence.

Occupational therapists and occupation therapy assistants applying for license renewal shall both document having earned a minimum of 15 points for approved continuing competence activities.

For more information, please see Section .0800 of the Rules of the North Carolina Board of Occupational Therapy.  Information on Continuing Competence is also contained in the PowerPoint Presentation, presented at the 2009 North Carolina Occupational Therapy Association’s Fall Conference.
