Transcript:

Continuing education is a crucial aspect of maintaining licensure and staying at the forefront of physical therapy. Physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) are required to complete a set number of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) every renewal cycle, with specific requirements varying by state.

National CEU Requirements for Physical Therapists

While each state has its unique regulations, common requirements include:

• General CEUs: Covering diverse topics to enhance clinical skills and improve patient care.
• Ethics and Jurisprudence: Focused on state laws, regulations, and ethical practice.
• Specialized Training: Topics such as medical error prevention, workplace impairment, and emerging therapy techniques.

Many states align with guidelines from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), ensuring CEUs contribute to professional growth and patient outcomes.

• Now, a new JAMA study is out highlighting how psoriasis could be linked with ultra processed foods -- and it's something physical therapists need to check out!

• Water is essential for life and many guidelines tout varying amounts that should be consumed per day.
• We know that some guidelines have been swayed by the bottled water companies. 
• New research does show that water can be helpful for several key health conditions, but overall the number and quality of studies remain low and poor at best.
• Bottom line: Water can help with some health conditions, and finding the right amount should be patient-specific and dependent on other variables as well (e.g. exercise, environment). Water, unsweetened tea, and unsweetened black coffee should be the mainstay of fluids for most people.
