Audience & Accreditation

       

Physical Therapists and PT Assistants

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) as a national organization does not approve continuing education providers or courses. Rather, state chapters create their own guidelines for course approval. Many states require that PT’s and PTA’s complete a certain number of continuing education hours in order to retain their licenses; but not all of those states require that the courses themselves be approved. In the states that require approval of CE courses for PT’s and PTA’s and where PRI is hosting a live course PRI courses are approved yearly. PRI has never been denied for continuing education credit. PT’s and PTA’s are eligible to apply for Postural Restoration Certification (PRC).

Occupational Therapists and OT Assistants

The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) recognizes PRI as an Approved Provider of continuing education. AOTA Provider #6596. Approval applies to PRI live courses. Please note that the assignment of AOTA CEUs does not imply endorsement of specific course content, products, or clinical procedures by AOTA. OT’s are eligible to apply for Postural Restoration Certification (PRC).

Other Healthcare Professionals

PRI welcomes any interested healthcare professional to attend our courses.

The Interdisciplinary Integration course is specifi cally designed to assist with the integration of PRI in fields of dentistry, rehabilitation medicine, optometry, neurology, podiatry, etc. A certifi cate will be awarded to registrants upon completion of this course or any of the other PRI courses.

For those therapists applying for CE approval as an individual, we are happy to provide you with any information necessary. Please check with your state chapter to determine what information is requested.
