Stay Compliant with Oregon CEU Requirements: A Guide for Respiratory Therapists

Keeping your Oregon respiratory therapy license active means staying up to date with the state’s continuing education requirements. While it may seem like one more thing on your to-do list, the process doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right plan—and the right CEU provider—you can complete your required hours without stress.

In this guide, we’ll walk through Oregon’s CEU requirements for respiratory therapists, explain why AARC-approved courses matter, and show how TheCEPlace makes it easy to stay compliant and grow professionally.

CEU Requirements for Oregon Respiratory Therapists

The Oregon Health Authority requires OR licensed respiratory therapists to complete seven (7) continuing education units (CEUs) each year in order to renew their license.


Here’s what you need to know:

  • Renewal frequency: Annually
     
  • Total CEUs required: 7 per year
     
  • Clinical requirement: At least 2.5 CEUs must directly relate to the clinical practice of respiratory care (per ORS 688.800)
     
  • License expiration: Your license must be renewed by the last day of the month it was originally issued
     

Unlike some states with biennial renewals, Oregon's annual renewal cycle means CEU planning should become part of your regular routine.

Keep Your Records—Just in Case

While Oregon does not require you to submit CEU certificates during renewal, you are expected to keep documentation for at least two years. If selected for an audit, you must provide proof of completion—so staying organized is essential.

Why AARC-Approved CEUs Matter

The American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) is a nationally recognized authority in respiratory care education. Choosing AARC-approved courses ensures:

  • Your CEUs are compliant with Oregon’s licensing standards
     
  • The content is current, credible, and professionally relevant
     
  • You’re receiving high-quality education that supports your growth
     

All courses offered through TheCEPlace are AARC-approved—making your license renewal process smoother and more reliable.

Bundled CEUs: The Smarter, Simpler Choice

Trying to piece together CEUs from multiple sources can be time-consuming—and risky if a course doesn’t meet Oregon’s requirements. That’s where bundled CEUs from TheCEPlace come in.


Benefits of our Oregon CEU bundle:

  • Meets all 7 CEU requirements in one package
     
  • Includes 2.5+ hours of clinical care content

Tips to Stay on Top of Your CEUs

Oregon’s annual renewal schedule means it’s important to keep CEU completion top of mind. Here are a few tips to help:


Start early in your renewal cycle

Spreading your CEUs across the year helps you avoid a last-minute scramble.


Use a CEU tracking sheet or digital folder

Save your certificates as soon as you earn them, and keep them in one place for easy access during audits.


Mix up your learning formats

TheCEPlace offers flexible options so you can complete CEUs during lunch breaks, weekends, or whenever it fits your schedule.


Choose a platform made for RTs

With bundled options and built-in progress tracking, TheCEPlace is designed to meet the needs of busy respiratory therapists.

Invest in Your License—and Your Career

Completing CEUs isn’t just about checking a box. The right courses can help you:

  • Stay sharp on clinical techniques
     
  • Learn about emerging respiratory care technology
     
  • Enhance your confidence in patient care
     
  • Prepare for career advancement opportunities
     

When you choose CEUs that matter—through a provider that understands your profession—you’re not just meeting a requirement. You’re growing your expertise.
