Re: [wcd-fpta] Therapists from other countries...

[Guest guest]

I thought I heard that the temporary licenses were no

longer issued, beginning this year. An out of country

PT must acquire state licensure in the U.S. prior to

working as a PT. If this is correct, in what capacity

can an out of country PT function until the licensure

exam is taken?
