How to Complete CEUs for Respiratory Therapists in Arkansas

Staying up to date with your continuing education is essential to maintaining your license and advancing your career as a respiratory therapist in Arkansas. The good news? Meeting your CEU requirements doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming—especially when you have access to trusted resources like TheCEPlace.

This guide walks you through Arkansas’s CEU requirements, explains why AARC-approved courses are the gold standard, and shows how bundled CEUs from TheCEPlace can help you stay organized and stress-free.

Arkansas CEU Requirements for Respiratory Therapists

To keep your rt license active in Arkansas, the Arkansas State Medical Board requires 12 CEUs every year.

Here’s what to know:

  • Total CEUs required: 12 per year
     
  • Format: All 12 can be completed through online, self-study courses
     
  • Renewal cycle: Between the first day of your birth month and the last day of your next birth month (a 13-month window)
     
  • Documentation: Keep records for three years in case you’re selected for a random audit
     
  • No carryover: CEUs do not roll over to the next cycle
     

Although you won’t submit certificates at renewal, you must verify CEU completion in your renewal application—and be ready to provide proof if audited.

Why Choose AARC-Approved CEUs?

When completing CEUs in Arkansas, it's important to select courses that are approved by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC). AARC sets the industry benchmark for continuing education, and their courses ensure your learning aligns with the state’s requirements and best clinical practices.

Benefits of AARC-approved courses:

  • Meets state standards: Guaranteed acceptance by the Arkansas licensing board
     
  • Built for RTs: Every course is created by professionals in the field
     
  • Updated and relevant: Stay informed about emerging therapies and real-world scenarios
     
  • Easy to access: Take your courses from anywhere, on your schedule

Tips for Staying Organized and Completing Your CEUs Stress-Free

Meeting your CEU requirements can feel like a chore—especially if you're juggling patient care, documentation, and long shifts. These simple tips will help you stay on track without added stress:


1. Mark your CEU window

Start your CEUs early in your renewal cycle (based on your birth month) so you're not racing against the clock.


2. Set monthly micro-goals

Aim for 1–2 CEUs per month to keep pace. Spacing it out reduces pressure and helps you absorb the material better.


3. Take advantage of downtime

Use breaks or quiet evenings to knock out shorter courses. TheCEPlace’s platform makes it easy to pause and resume when life gets busy.


4. Keep your certificates in one folder

Digital or printed—whatever works for you. You’ll be ready for any audit, anytime.


5. Use a bundle to eliminate guesswork

With all requirements covered, Arkansas-specific bundles from TheCEPlace are the easiest path to license renewal.
