Rules to know

Licenses renew every year, but proof of hours is only sent with the renewal in odd-numbered years.
Every activity must relate to the practice of physical therapy.
If you were first licensed within a year of an odd-year renewal, you don't need hours for it; between one and two years, you need half.
A contact hour is 60 minutes, not counting meals and breaks.

Official sources

This is a plain-language summary to help you plan. Rules change and your board has the final word, so confirm with the sources above before you renew. These are physical therapy rules: OTs renew through the state's occupational therapy board, and athletic trainers also keep their BOC certification.
