Reinstating Your license and one-time Pain Management CE
If you wish to reinstate your license, and it lapsed in the last 2 years, contact the Director, Felicia.M.Holgate@state.or.us to obtain a reinstatement form. You must send in CE certificates for the required 30 points.

If you were licensed more than 2 years ago, fill out a new Application form and follow instructions, except you do not need state verifications for those state verifications we already will have in your old file.

Included in the 30 CE points is a required one-time 7 hour Pain Management CE, which has 1-hour free on-line presentation and 6 additional hours. Any classes, including online on the Pain Commission site is fine: www.oregon.gov/DHS/pain/training.shtml

Anyone completing the Pain CE requirement is asked to send an e-mail to Director Felicia.M.Holgate@state.or.us giving the name of the class(es), provider(s), # of credits, and dates completed. We will add that to your data base.

Note: New applicants have 2 years to complete the Pain Management requirement.

PAIN CE:  This is a one- time requirement and you have 2 years after getting licensed to have it completed.  If you renewed in 2010 you completed it.  If you were licensed after June 2010 your Pain CE is not yet due. When you renew if the system will not let you proceed, click Yes and type in "Not due until" month and year (when you were licensed in Oregon). 

SUPERVISION: If you are an OT Assistant working in Oregon, your Supervision Form should be filed in the board office - signed by you and your supervising OTR. If supervison changes, send in a new supervision form prior to start of work.

During the online renewal, there is a Supervision BOX for Licensing:
OT Assistant: List your Licensing OT supervisor(s).
OT: List which OT Assistant(s) you are supervising for Licensing purposes.

Your work supervisor may the same or different from your OT Licensing Supervisor - all OT Assistants working in Oregon must work under the supervision of an Oregon Licensed OT. We cross check who the OT and OT Assistant list.
