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.
