Looking for Reliable, Relevant Continuing Education?

If you're looking for reliable, relevant continuing education, you can get help from AOTA's Approved Provider Program (APP).

Organizations in the APP must meet standards and complete AOTA's rigorous application review process in order to become approved. The APP is intended to strengthen and sustain the quality and integrity of continuing education. The program is designed to give you confidence in the providers you choose.

Texas is one of 25 state licensure boards that have adopted AOTA's APP, either by regulation or by letter of support. Jean E. Polichino, MS, OTR, presiding officer of the Texas Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners, recently explained, "Texas wants licensees to feel confident about courses they can take. The burden for meeting the APP standards is on the continuing education provider. Practitioners want to know that the CE provider offers a product that will benefit them."

The National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) recognizes continuing education from AOTA's Approved Providers toward NBCOT's Professional Development Units (PDUs). When asked about the Approved Provider Program, Nancy Richman, OTR/L, FAOTA, chairperson of the Illinois Occupational Therapy Licensure Board, said, "We wanted to give OTs and OTAs an opportunity to meet licensure CE requirements in the most convenient way possible and to meet NBCOT's PDU requirements. We were confident that the AOTA program would help practitioners identify the CE quality that the Illinois Occupational Therapy Licensure Board was committed to providing."
 

So how does an occupational therapy practitioner find out about continuing education offered by AOTA's Approved Providers?

Look for the AOTA APP logo on materials you receive from CE providers, and check online at AOTA's CE WebFind, a searchable database at http://www.aota.org/nonmembers/area3
