A. A licensee is not required to complete continuing education hours for the first renewal of licensure. (This would be anyone licensed for the first time on 11/1/08 or after). If this is not your first renewal, you are to obtain 30 hours of continuing education from board-approved providers for the biennium ending 3/31/13. These hours must be obtained between 4/1/11 and 3/31/13. Five of the hours must be as follows: 2 hours in the prevention of medical errors (must be obtained from Continuing Education providers approved specifically by the board for the prevention of medical errors course) and 3 hours in ethics and boundary issues. Every third renewal, you must complete a two hour continuing education course on domestic violence. (Click on renewal information on the website for clarification). Rule 64B4-6.001, F.A.C., provides renewal information and Rule 64B4-6.002, F.A.C., provides further information about approved courses for continuing education.
