Michigan respiratory therapist license renewal requirements
Michigan’s Respiratory Therapy Licensing Guide lists a 3-year renewal cycle. Its renewal checklist names two training requirements and does not list a set number of general continuing education hours (paraphrased).
Quoted from official pages checked November 12, 2026. Confirm current requirements, fees, and dates on those sites. This page is not legal advice and does not guarantee eligibility, certification, or licensure.

Training at renewal
“Implicit Bias Training – Licensees are required to complete 1 hour of implicit bias training for each year of their license or registration cycle.” Licensees must also have completed training in identifying victims of human trafficking that meets Administrative Rule 338.2201a, and “The training must only be completed one time.”
What we did not confirm
We did not read the respiratory care general rules in full, so this page does not say whether they set other hours (paraphrased).
Required topics
| Topic | Hours | How often | Provider rule | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Implicit bias training | 1 per year of the license cycle | Every renewal | Not stated | michigan.gov |
| Identifying victims of human trafficking | Not stated | One time | Meets Administrative Rule 338.2201a | michigan.gov |
From the official source linked in each row, read November 12, 2026. ‘Not stated’ means the source we read does not say. Confirm on the board site before you renew.

What this page does not do
It covers the state respiratory care license only, and only what the official page named above says. It does not list fees and does not replace the board’s own instructions. NBRC credential maintenance is separate; see the RT overview. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
