Oregon Massage Therapy

Continuing Education Requirements

Massage therapy license requirements vary from state to state and the laws are constantly changing. It is our current understanding that Oregon requires massage therapists to complete 25 CE hours every 2 years for license renewal.

Of the 25 hours, 8 CE hours must be completed in a live classroom setting, this includes your 4 CE hours in ethics, boundaries, or communication. You must take the 1 hour online Pain Management Module provided by the Oregon Pain Management Commission at least once.

You must complete at least 1 CE hour of cultural competency approved by the Oregon Health Authority. A list of approved courses can be found at https://www.oregon.gov/oha/EI/Pages/CCCE.aspx (we do not currently have an Oregon board approved cultural competency course).

If you would like to verify this information, or have further questions regarding your massage therapy continuing education requirements, we suggest contacting the Oregon Board of Massage directly. The telephone number for the Oregon Board is 503-365-8657 or visit their website at http://www.oregon.gov/OBMT/Pages/index.aspx.

Remember, the Institute for Integrative Healthcare Studies is approved by the NCBTMB as a continuing education Approved Provider (#049478-00) and Health Positive! is a division of the Institute. All of our continuing education programs can be used for your Board Certification renewal.

You may also use our credits for other organizations you belong to such as the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) or Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).
