Tips for Obtaining Hours

  • Clinical supervisors can count hours providing supervision.

  • Attending consult groups is an easy way to rack up hours. Just keep a log (we try to keep one along side you to serve as verification but it's important not to rely on this to track attendance) and let us know you need proof of hours. We need at least 5 business days to provide you with the letter you need for verification. 
     

  • Time spent reading clinical literature (text books, journal articles, etc.) counts for hours as long as it's directly relevant and beneficial to your work as a therapist and you can verify that you did indeed complete the reading.

Good To Know

  • Proof of hours and associated renewal paperwork must be kept for 7 years.

  • Licenses issued mid-2 year cycle don't need all 40 hours.​ From DORA:

         "The requirement is prorated at 1.66 hours per month, including the 

           month the license is issued through the month the license expires."

 

          Please contact DORA to verify hours required if you fall under

          this provision and you plan to obtain fewer than all 40 hours.

          We also strongly encourage you to apply for renewal as soon

          as renewal opens in case you are audited. 

  • You create a Health Professions Profile when you first receive a license. It likely lists a former employer and this is a great time to make a quick update since you can access your profile right where you renew your license.
