Continuing Education
Who should attend our Continuing Education & Competency classes?
Our courses are designed with practicing and teaching Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy Assistants in mind. Many of our courses are relevant to other professional providers however, in compliance with Georgia requirements, and are ONLY able to offer CEU/CCH's for Physical Therapists in Georgia.
For all other professionals and/or out of state PTs, the course information and objectives will be provided, along with a certificate of attendance, documenting course hours for you to submit to your appropriate state credentialing authority. We cannot guarantee any other professional state licensing board will reciprocate and allow credits to be claimed.
What should I expect to learn?
In accordance with the Georgia Board of Physical Therapy’s Board Rule 490-4-.02, we expect that our Continuing Education & Competency offerings will increase the attendee’s skill, knowledge and competency in areas related to healthcare and rehabilitation services from present levels to those identified in the course’s learning objectives.
Who can receive continuing competency hours (CCH’s) credit for attending one of your courses?
Emory University’s Division of Physical Therapy is an approved Institution for the provision of Class I continuing education activities by the Georgia State Board of Physical Therapy (Georgia Board of Physical Therapy Board Policy #7). Continuing competency hours (CCH’s) may be used to fulfill Georgia requirements for physical therapy or physical therapy assistant bi-annual licensure renewal.
Unless specifically noted in a particular course, our educational opportunities are not pre-approved by other State Boards, such as the Georgia Board of Occupational Therapy or the Georgia Board of Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology. We will provide CCH certificates of attendance for all healthcare professionals who attend our events; however, the individual therapist must conduct her own research to determine if the course meets the professional education requirements outlined by her State and/or licensure board.
