All Physical Therapy programs in the US require a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree for entry-level practice, a change from the previous Master's degree requirement.

The Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) is the accrediting body for Physical Therapy programs in the US.

After graduating with a DPT, aspiring PTs must pass the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT).

Passing the NPTE allows PTs to apply for licensure in their chosen state, which grants them permission to practice.

Licensure typically grants a broader scope of practice and is stricter, often requiring passing an exam and meeting state regulations. Registration is usually less stringent and may only involve submitting documentation.
