    California Physical Therapy Practice Act Summary

    • The Physical Therapy Practice Act (PTPA) was added to California statutes in 1953, creating the Physical Therapy Board of California (PTBC).

    • PTs in California must meet various licensure requirements, including passing an examination and completing 30 CEUs every 2 years.
    • The Commission on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) oversees educational requirements for PT licensure, including clinical experience and foreign education program approval.
    • Offenses such as sex offender registration and certain felonies automatically bar individuals from obtaining a PT license, while others are considered when applying for licensure.
