The Arkansas State Medical Board will conduct a Called Conference Call Meeting from the Board office Friday, January 11, 2019 at 12:00 pm
The Pain Committee Meeting dates have been scheduled for the year
In an effort to assist OTA’s and OT’s inaccurately and compliantly completing these logs, the OT Examining Committee has revised the sample log. The Committee has noted ongoing compliance issues with regard to the supervising occupational therapist meeting with the occupational therapy assistant and the patient on a monthly basis pursuant to Regulation 6(6.2)(C)(2). Therefore, the columns titled “Means of Communication” and “Patient Present Yes/No” have been combined. It is recommended that you carefully review the regulation requirements at the top of the sample log. If you have questions, you may contact Juli Carlson at 501-296-1802 or juli.carlson@armedicalboard.org for assistance. Click here for a link to the sample document.

The effective date of this change is June 13, 2018. The one hour of prescribing CME will be required starting in the 2019 renewal cycle.
