Ohio License & CTR Renewal

Remember your medical cannabis
CME requirement!


Our records show that you hold a Certificate to Recommend (CTR) medical cannabis in Ohio and that your license may be expiring on $$ATTRIB: License Expiration Date$$. CTR is an endorsement that attaches to your current medical license and will remain active when you renew your license. Physicians are required to complete two hours of medical cannabis CME each year. This is a courtesy reminder that when you renew your State Medical Board of Ohio license, you will need to attest you have completed this required medical cannabis education.

If you are audited, you will be required to provide course completion documentation of these credits. If you no longer want to make medical cananbis recommendations, you can choose to surrender your CTR with no formal board action. There will be an option in the renewal process to renew your physician license without renewing your CTR. If this option is selected, your physician’s license number will drop the “CTR” suffix and the CTR endorsement will be given an inactive status.
