Important Update on Hands-On Continuing Education Instruction
Per a recent ruling from the New York State Education Department, continuing education that involves hands-on physical therapy instruction constitutes the practice of physical therapy. Therefore, only physical therapists who are licensed and currently registered in New York State may conduct or teach hands-on CE courses.
For more information, see NYS Education Department Article 136
