How to Track Your CEUs as a Travel Therapist

Keeping up with your CEUs in order to renew your occupational or physical therapy license can seem daunting when you only have one state license. What do you do when you become a travel therapist and have multiple licenses to maintain?

It seems simple enough. For each state, you just need to know the total number of CEUs you need to complete, any special requirements or limitations, and the date your CEUs are due.

Complete some courses or activities to fulfill your continuing education requirements and renew your license when it’s time, right?

Travelers Have Plenty to Worry About

You are changing jobs every 3 to 6 months. Finding new housing for the next contract. Planning your move to the next city. Dusting off the cobwebs if your new job is in a setting you haven’t been in for a while. Possibly taking time off for fun in between contracts. Not to mention, getting a new license if you are going to a state you haven’t been licensed in before.

It would be pretty easy for things to fall through the cracks when it comes to keeping up with the licenses you do already have.

The last thing you need when you are traveling is to realize too late you need live CEUs while you are moving or on an extended vacation. Or to lose the certificates from courses you took because you depended on a physical file folder that got lost in a move, or a computer folder that you forgot to back up because you were having fun exploring every weekend.

Try an Online CEU Tracker

An online CEU tracker is one of the best ways for a traveler to stay organized and in compliance for your license renewal or an audit. You can access it from any device, so it goes where you go. And like you, it's free from commitment to a specific state, job or continuing education provider.

CEU Keeper provides occupational and physical therapy professionals with specific CEU information for every state, including total CEUs required, special requirements and online limitations. We do all that research, so you don't have to!

With cloud based storage, as soon as you complete a course or activity, you can enter all of the necessary information, such as course title, provider, date completed, CEUs earned, from your phone or laptop. And you can upload certificates or other supporting documentation you need to keep as proof. You'll never have to search for the information you need at renewal or audit time!

Visual tools on your dashboard allow you to check your progress and we’ll notify you of upcoming due dates in the app and via email! So even if you do forget that one of those states you haven't been to in a while ago is about to expire, you'll have a few months to make sure you get everything completed as long as you check your email.

Continuing education is required, worrying about it doesn’t have to be.
