Documentation, attestation and audit
Documentation supporting compliance with CE requirements must be maintained by the licensee for a period of four (4) years following license renewal and be provided to the Health Licensing Office upon request.
Each licensee shall document compliance with the CE credit requirements through attestation on the license renewal application.
For current auditing and sanction information, please see OAR 331-385-0020 (link to come when rules are posted to the Oregon Secretary of States' web page).
Pre-approval of CE courses discontinued
Because the Art Therapy Program now lists continuing education (CE) domains (subjects) in Oregon Administrative Rule, the Health Licensing Office (HLO) is no longer offering the option of submitting CE pre-approval requests for review. As long as the course content being offered can be tied directly to one or more of the domains listed in rule, there is no need for approval from the HLO to offer the course. Please review the
Oregon Administrative Rules that oversee the Art Therapy Program for the list of acceptable domains.
