Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
The Philippines’ ambassador to the United States is urging American licensure authorities to defer the implementation of a 1-year ban on Filipino physical therapy (PT) graduates who want to take the US National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE).
In a press release, Philippine Ambassador to the US Willy Gaa said he is asking the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy, which administers the NPTE, to allow Filipino PT graduates who are already in the US to take the test.
