Continuing Education for Physical Therapist Assistants

On July 7, 2008, Chapter 207 of the Laws of 2008, requiring physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to complete thirty-six hours of continuing education during each three-year registration renewal period, was signed into law. Only licensees registering after January 1, 2010, will have to verify that the required number of course hours has been achieved.

This site offers information for licensees and entities seeking to be designated as an approved provider of continuing education course work for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.
