My question pertains to obtaining my license to practice as a PTA in Florida, I have worked as a PTA in NY since 1994. At the time of my graduation, there was no talk of taking any further examinations and that includes the National Exam. A couple of decades later, I find myself attempting to relocate (without the National Exam) and in my research, I found,..."486.107 Physical therapist assistant; issuance of license without examination to person licensed in another jurisdiction; fee.—
(1) The board may cause a license to be issued through the department without examination to any applicant who presents evidence to the board, under oath, of licensure in another state, the District of Columbia, or a territory, if the standards for registering as a physical therapist assistant or licensing of a physical therapist assistant, as the case may be, in such other state are determined by the board to be as high as those of this state, as established by rules adopted pursuant to this chapter. Any person who holds a license pursuant to this section may use the words “physical therapist assistant,” or the letters “P.T.A.,” in connection with her or his name to denote licensure hereunder."
Has anyone ever heard of this before? I would love to talk to someone who has any working knowledge of this or is interested in this topic. Thanks!
