New admittees shall complete 15 credit hours of accredited CLE activity in the first reporting period after admission as an active member, including 2.00 credit hours in ethics, 1.00 credit hour in mental health and substance use education and 9.00 credit hours in practical skills. 1.00 of the ethics credit hours must be devoted to Oregon ethics and professionalism and 4.00 of the 9.00 credits in practical
