BILL NUMBER:S4969
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to the
practice of physical therapy
PURPOSE: To permit only a licensed physical therapist holding a
doctor of physical therapy degree to use the abbreviation "D.P.T."
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Amends section 6732 of the education law to permit only a
licensed physical therapist holding a doctor of physical therapy
degree to use the abbreviation "D.P.T."
Section 2. Sets the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION: In 2011, the physical therapy practice act was amended
to require applicants for physical therapy licensure to complete a
master's degree or higher in physical therapy. Such standard reflect
national accrediting standards, the fact that the practice of physical
therapy has advanced significantly since the establishment of the
bachelor's degree level and that all New York physical therapy
educational programs are at the master's degree or doctorate level
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.
