STATE APPROVALS

On.Line PT CEUs courses are accepted for relicensure in the states listed below.  See your state’s listing for any restrictions.

Each individual state’s Physical Therapy organization and/or board determines the need for continuing education requirements as they relate to relicensure.

While some states require pre-approval of continuing education programs for CEU credit, others do not.  In addition, some state organizations will accept CEUs if the course has been approved by another national or state organization. 

Often, continuing education is subdivided by type of activity or category.  State organizations may define the number of CEUs acceptable for a given category. 

As expectations and regulations are constantly changing, it is ultimately the responsibility of each therapist to remain up to date on the CEU requirements for relicensure in his/her own state.

To check the current status for your state, go to The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy at https://www.fsbpt.org/LicensingAuthorities/index.asp and follow the website links for your state.

At On.Line PT CEUs, we complete an annual review of each state’s Practice Act and board requirements for renewal of licensure as it relates to continuing education.
