Article 105-02 - Respiratory Care Practitioner Licensure
Chapter 105-02-01 - Initial Licensure and Renewals
Section 105-02-01-04 - Continuing education

To renew a license, a person must present proof of having attended or acquired at least ten clock-hours of continuing education approved by the board. If any licensee allows the licensee's license to lapse for a period of more than one year, the licensee must be required to submit proof of attendance or acquisition of at least ten clock-hours of continuing education for each year that the license has lapsed up to a period of three years.

Continuing education for licensure renewal must be completed in the calendar year prior to the year for which licensure is sought. Under extraordinary circumstances, the board may consider a request for continuing education hours accrued in the same calendar year.

Continuing education courses must relate to or increase the professional competence of the attendee. This determination will be made by the board through approval of requested courses. The board has the authority to accept programs sponsored by a local, state, regional, national, international, scientific, or professional organization appropriate to provide continuing education (i.e., American association of respiratory care (AARC), North Dakota society of respiratory care (NDSRC), American medical association (AMA), American lung association (ALA), American heart association (AHA), American academy of sleep medicine (AASM), American association of sleep technologists (AAST), board of registered polysomnographic technologists (BRPT), American society of electroneurodiagnostic technologists (ASET), etc.).
