Understanding North Carolina CEU Requirements for PTs and PTAs
The North Carolina Board of Physical Therapy Examiners (NCBPTE) regulates license renewals through a unique framework measured in Continuing Competence Points. Rather than standard calendar years, licensees must complete their hours during a 25-month reporting period ending on January 31st based on their assigned cycle.
