According to the Board, no. Regular requirements for the 2022 renewal period are currently in place, such as continuing education completion and state fees.

What happens if I don't renew my license before the 2022 deadline?

If your license expires due to missing your renewal deadline, you will not be able to practice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania until you have been issued an active license.
