OT's and OTA's Required to get 7 hours of Continuing Education on Pain

-Legislation passed in 2007 requiring OT professionals to have 7-hours of CE related to pain.

-The 7 hours are a one-time accumulation which need to be completed by 2010.

-One hour is a FREE on-line course and is found on the Oregon DHS website http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/pain/training.shtml

-The other 6 hours can be obtained through in-services, courses or other approved venues.

-This is a requirement for OT's working in all fields, which does include pediatrics and mental health.

OTAO is still planning on offering more Pain CE Events and we are trying to set up more practice area specific Pain courses based on feedback from prior attendees. We are still going to hopefully be able to offer some online education in 2009 to reach more rural OT's or those who want to learn from the comfort of their own home! Stay tuned!
