Regulations Governing the Practice of Physical Therapy [18 VAC 112 ‑ 20]
Action:
Periodic review
Action 1250
 
General Information
Action Summary The board is recommending amendments to its regulations for the licensure of physical therapists and physical therapist assistants in order to clarify and update educational, examination and practice requirements. With the creation of an independent Board of Physical Therapy, the regulations that had been in effect under the Board of Medicine were adopted in 2000 by the new board with only minor revisions. With more than two years of experience and with the mandated rules for continuing education, the Board has determined that some of its requirements may need to be more consistent with national standards in the practice of physical therapy, may need to be clarified to facilitate compliance by licensees, or may need to be modified to reduce the burden of compliance.
