MA CE Requirements for Licensees
The following excerpts were retrieved from the Massachusetts Allied Health Board website on 5/20/2022. Please note that we are providing this for your information only. It is the responsibility of the licensee to know and keep up to date with their state’s regulations.
On April 29, 2022, the Board of Allied Health Professions issued regulations requiring individual licensees to complete continuing competence activities (i.e., continuing education) before renewal. The regulations do not apply to physical therapy facility licenses. All licensees should review the new regulations available here.
As part of your renewal application, you must certify that you have completed all continuing competence activities required to renew your license. If you do not so certify, the Board will not renew your license, even if you submit your renewal application, until you demonstrate compliance.
The Board will prorate the continuing competence activities required for a licensee’s first renewal that is due on or after September 1, 2022. The schedule of continuing competence activities licensees must complete is based on a licensee’s renewal date and is available here.
Licensees who must renew before September 1, 2022 or were licensed by examination (not reciprocity) and are renewing for the first time are exempt from any continuing competence requirements for this renewal cycle.
