Continuing
As a requisite for maintaining their license to practice in the state of Oklahoma under their respective titles, PT and PTA, each must complete education as approved by the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision.
Every licensee must complete either 40 hours as a PT or 30 hours as a PTA due every 2 years (even years), which is known as a compliance period. Each must complete 3 contact hours in ethics during this compliance period as well.
Visit the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision to review approved courses for PTs and PTAs. http://www.okmedicalboard.org/physical_therapists#forms-resources
Please note that the Oklahoma Physical Therapy Association does not approve continuing education courses. Please direct those queries to the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision at (405)962-1400.
