Continued Competency – Why Isn’t Continuing Education Sufficient?
Unlike other licensing Boards within the PA Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs whose licensure laws require its licensees to complete continuing education as a condition of biennial renewal, the PA OT Board is charged in section 15(a) with assuring continued competence of occupational therapists. The Board interprets this provision as requiring varied experiences in addition to continuing education.
Working with kids for fifteen plus years as an OT in southeast Pa. School based practice, autism, early intervention, food habits, PA licensure and continued competency are my areas of interest and expertise. I look forward to "chattting" with lots of OTs on this blog!
