Please support the petition for removing the criminal barrier for Physical Therapy Education
 

It is in best interest to the ever growing needs of the medical community to remove the unconditional barrier for people who have non-violent felonies for Physical Therapy education and work. It is our job to protect patients, but it is also our job to do our own research and treat applicants as individuals and not part of a "class" or group. Please allow these people to stand on their own individually with references, sufficient sobriety, etc.

 

Thank you for your consideration.
