First, let me say THANK YOU to all the dedicated Respiratory Therapists in Kentucky. We are a strong and versatile group who never runs from a challenge and I could not be more proud to be an RT!
I wanted to share how the KBRC is working to maintain and expedite licensing of Respiratory Therapists during the COVID-19 emergency.
We have implemented a continuity plan to allow licensing services to continue uninterrupted in the event one or both of the staff become quarantined or ill.
We are expediting licensing by processing Mandatory, Temporary and Limited Mandatory applications, Reactivation and Reinstatement the same business day if submitted by 3pm.
While we are not allowing any visitors to the office at this time, licensees may submit the applications by fax or email and make the payment on the KBRC website https://kbrc.ky.gov

Please feel free call the office or email me if you have any questions [email protected]

01/30/2020

The 2020 renewal ends at midnight tonight. If you are not able to complete a renewal you will need to apply for reinstatement. Please call the board office with any questions.

*UPDATE 11/04/19 9:45 am : We have just been notified that the renewal card issue has been resolved. Thank you all for your patience .*

This morning we were made aware of an issue with an incorrect expiration date on the 2022 renewal cards. KY Interactive is working to resolve the issue and we hope to have it corrected soon. We have the ability to see the practitioners affected by this error and will be sending license cards to you by mail.
You may also go back into the renewal system until January 30, 2020 by using the link on our website to reprint your card once the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
