For Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants: How can I find courses that fulfill renewal requirements for state licensure?
The State menu in the PhysicalTherapy.com library was designed to identify courses that would be acceptable by state licensing boards of physical therapy. By selecting a state from that menu, the search results include courses to meet license renewal requirements for PTs/PTAs licensed in that state. The information in the “State Approval” window at the top of the results will provide additional information about your state. Please note that entering a state PT license in your professional profile on PhysicalTherapy.com will result in a default selection of that state in the State menu.
For Athletic Trainers: How can I find courses that fulfill renewal requirements for state licensure in athletic training or BOC Certification?
Most state licensing boards for ATs accept courses offered by BOC Approved Providers to meet license renewal requirements. PhysicalTherapy.com is approved by the Board of Certification, Inc. to provide continuing education for Certified Athletic Trainers. To help you maintain your AT license as well as your BOC Certification, we offer Category A courses. To find BOC courses to meet your AT license, make sure the state filter in the Course Library is set to “All States” and then select “BOC” from the Associations menu.
For Dual Licensure and for PTs Maintaining BOC Certification
Only a portion of the courses in the PhysicalTherapy.com library are targeted toward the AT scope of practice. To find courses that meet the requirements of state physical therapy licensure, as well as those of AT licensure and/or BOC Certification, visit the Course Library and select the state of your PT/PTA license from the “State” menu. Then, select “BOC” from the “Associations” menu. The courses that appear in the search results should meet the approval requirements of both your PT and AT licenses. Please remember to review the information in the “State Approval” window at the top of the results for further information about your state.
