How many CEUs does Missouri require?
Respiratory care practitioners need to complete at least 24 credits/hours of continuing education every 24 months. The continuing education reporting period is the twenty-four (24)-month period beginning on August 1 of even numbered years and ending on July 31 of even numbered years. Continuing education hours earned after July 31 shall apply to the next continuing education reporting period. A certificate holder must report during registration if she or he has completed the required continuing education during the previous two years (biennial registration period).
According to the MBRC, at least 12 contact hours must be in traditional courses . “Traditional educational programs are those programs, attended either in person or attended remotely, by the use of telecommunication technology, where the presentation is “live,” and where the attendee can interact with and ask questions of the presenter during the presentation. Non-traditional programs are those approved programs that include a testing mechanism, not presented “live” where the attendee is not able to interact with and ask questions of the presenter during the presentation.” You may obtain either all or (at a minimum) 12 of your traditional CEUs (no tests required) by attending our Real-Time Live Broadcast Courses. The remaining 12 CEUs you need may be acquired by taking our non-traditional Self-Directed courses (available 24/7).
