If you're a practicing physical therapist or physical therapist assistant in New Jersey, you're likely pretty familiar the State Board of Physical Therapy Examiners. They require you to secure a certain number of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) every two years to maintain your license. For physical therapists, the magic number is 30 CEUs, with a hard-and-fast rule that 4 of these units need to focus on jurisprudence and professional ethics. Physical therapist assistants, you're looking at 20 CEUs with the same 4-unit emphasis on ethics.
The Garden State offers plenty of flexibility when it comes to accumulating your CEUs. You can attend in-person workshops, seminars, sign up for webinars, or even opt for distance learning courses, provided they are approved by the Board of Physical Therapy. One thing to keep in mind is that at least a third of your CEUs (that's 10 for physical therapists and 5 for assistants) must come from live, real-time interaction in a course.
The focus on professional ethics in New Jersey is also worth noting. These compulsory ethics courses offer insights into dealing with the ethical intricacies you might encounter during your practice.
Absolutely! If the New Jersey State Board comes knocking, you need to have your ducks in a row. This means having the necessary documentation such as completion certificates from all your continuing education courses, ready at hand. You never know when the Physical Therapy Examiners might want to peek at your records.
