Continuing Education

Most physical therapy and occupational therapy professionals are required to fulfill continuing education requirements to renew their license. These requirements are determined individually by each state. While there are a few states that don’t have occupational and physical therapy CEU requirements, the majority do. Some states make it easy and simply require a total number of units or hours. Many states, however, make it more complicated.

Did you know there are ways to earn physical therapy continuing education credit besides taking courses? While you can, and many therapists do, exclusively use coursework to complete PT CEUs, there are other options. These alternative activities not only give you more ways to fulfill your requirements, they may also save you time and money!

Almost all Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants are required to complete continuing education to maintain their licenses. Licenses are issued individually by each state, therefore, physical therapy continuing education requirements are also determined by each state.
