Common Questions:

Who licenses physical therapists and physical therapist assistants in Montana?
PTs and PTAs are licensed by the State of Montana through the Department of Commerce, Board of Physical Therapy Examiners. As in most states, the professional association (Montana Chapter, in this case) is not the licensing agent. You'll find a link for the Board of Physical Therapy Examiners on this page.

How much continuing education is required for re-licensure in Montana?
PTs and PTAs in Montana are required to have 20 hours of relevant continuing education every two years. Evidence of the completion of the required hours should be submitted with your licensure renewal form and fee TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT. See links above.
