Arizona Physical Therapy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

The group that is exempt from licensure requirements under Arizona law is PTs who are part of professional education programs. This exemption is in place to allow students to receive practical training in therapy settings without the need for a full license as they are still in the process of completing their education. This recognizes the important role that hands-on experience plays in training skilled physical therapists while still ensuring that the educational standards are maintained.

Out-of-state licensed PTs must comply with Arizona’s licensure requirements to practice in the state, meaning they cannot practice solely on their out-of-state credentials. PTs with expired licenses are not allowed to practice until they renew their licenses, as active licensure is a basic requirement for practice. Similarly, PTs working independently still require a valid and active license to provide services legally, ensuring that they meet the professional standards and regulations set forth by the state.
