Content requirements
The 20 hours must include one contact hour on Ohio respiratory care law or professional ethics, and “At least fifteen of the required contact hours must include content relating to the provision of clinical respiratory care”. The remaining four may cover related areas such as education, supervision, or management (paraphrased).
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.
