The Physical Therapy Compact Commission (PTCC) newsletter provides updates on the PT Compact, which allows physical therapists to practice in multiple states. You can read the latest updates and also sign up to ensure you don't miss future updates.
FSBPT is taking preemptive steps to have the NPTE remain fair and secure for all. FSBPT is partnering with STOPit to stop potential candidates from cheating on their NPTE. By implementing STOPit’s Anonymous Reporting System, anyone can report issues directly and anonymously about suspected cases of candidates cheating on the NPTE. With STOPit Messenger, candidates are able to speak with someone from FSBPT about their concerns in real-time as their identity remains anonymous. Please encourage students, licensees, candidates, and educators to speak up—reporting is 100% anonymous and and can be done from a desktop using this link or the STOPit app with your Apple or Android devices. (Within the App, use the access code “NPTESecurity” or search for the organization, “National Physical Therapy Examination.”) Thank you for helping ensure that the NPTE remains fair and secure for everyone.
No. The free pass rate report on your School Dashboard, as well as any purchased reports, will update automatically as students in the cohort test or retest. Testing data and reports are updated eight times a year, after each NPTE administration. The schedule for these updates can be found on the home page of your School Dashboard. It is important to confirm your cohort rosters are correct prior to the exam administration. Changes to your cohort can be made at any time but will only be reflected in school reports after the next scheduled update. For more information on school reports go to School Reports (for Educators) | FSBPT.
As future healthcare professionals, it's a matter of when, not if, you will experience difficult or inappropriate situations. It's essential to understand the importance of maintaining ethical boundaries and preventing sexual misconduct in physical therapy. Attendees of this webinar learned about maintaining professional boundaries, understanding the consequences of misconduct, and discovering how you can contribute to a safer, more ethical healthcare environment. The speakers of this webinar are Stephen Curley, Samantha Mohn-Johnsen, and Sherri Paru. This webinar will take place on November 6th at 7 PM ET. Sign up here!
