Stay Ahead in Your SLP Career: Essential Continuing Education Requirements for Minnesota
Continuing education is crucial for Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Audiologists to maintain their licensure and stay updated with the latest practices in their fields.

SLPs and Audiologists in Minnesota must meet the continuing education requirements set by either the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) or the American Board of Audiology. Alternatively, they can fulfill the state-specific requirements as follows:

Record Keeping and Audits

Professionals must maintain records of their continuing education for four years and submit documentation during licensure renewal. The commissioner may audit continuing education reports, requiring professionals to provide detailed records of their activities.

Waivers

In cases where continuing education requirements impose an undue burden, professionals can request a waiver. The request must detail the reasons for the waiver, the period of time requested, and alternative measures to be taken. The commissioner will provide written reasons for granting or denying the waiver.
