Physical therapist licence

One of the cleanest pairings on this site: the licensing federation de-duplicates its count, so the number of licensed physical therapists and the number employed can be set side by side without guessing.

Iinkqubo zolawulo lweenkqubo

Federal programme data reports doctoral-level debt for CIP 51.23, which covers physical therapy and occupational therapy doctorates together and cannot be split. The blended figure runs from roughly $71,000 to $120,000 in federal loans at completion, but it is not a physical-therapy figure, so we do not present it as one and this page carries no cost.

The Doctor of Physical Therapy is three years of graduate study on top of a bachelor's degree, so seven years of higher education in total before the national licensing exam.

Licences renew every one to two years by state, with continuing competence requirements.

Zonke iinxalenye zihlala zibala. Abaphathi kwixesha elidlulileyo elichaphazela umsebenzi kwixesha elidlulileyo - uhlobo olufanayo lobungakanani, oluyisizathu sokuba ezi zimbini zingahlukaniswa na.

Izinto eziquka: De-duplicated individuals, which is unusual and is why this pairing is unusually clean: FSBPT matches licence records across jurisdictions, so a therapist licensed in four states is counted once rather than four times. Physical therapist assistants (134,457) are a separate licence and are not in this number. It counts everyone whose licence is active, including people not currently practising.

Le mifanekiso ayichazi kakuhle le misebenzi. IGosa lezoBugcisa lipapasha iziphumo zenkqubo ngeenombolo ezine ezithe nkqo, kwaye le nkqubo yobungqina ibelana ngekhowudi yayo nabanye. Ngoko ke, lo mfanekiso uchaza bonke abagqibezela nantoni na phantsi kwekhowudi kulo mgangatho, hayi kuphela abantu abaqhubekeke ukwenza le misebenzi.

Iinkqubo ezixhasayo: CIP 51.23 covers physical therapy, occupational therapy, therapeutic recreation, art and music therapy and rehabilitation counselling together. The doctoral row is mostly the Doctor of Physical Therapy alongside occupational therapy doctorates; the master's row is mostly occupational therapy and counselling. Physical therapy alone cannot be extracted from any of them, so none of these is the physical therapy figure.

The doctoral level of this code is the Doctor of Physical Therapy together with occupational therapy doctorates. It is the same blending that stops this page carrying a cost figure, so the outcome rate is a rehabilitation-professions figure rather than a physical-therapy one.
