Understanding Washington PT CEU RequirementsÂ
The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) mandates that all physical therapists and physical therapist assistants demonstrate ongoing professional development. Licenses must be renewed every year on or before the practitioner's birthday, while Continuing Education (CE) Hours and employment tracking are verified on a biennial (two-year) cycle.
What Counts for Washington PT CEU Approval?
Washington accepts courses that are directly relevant to the clinical practice of physical therapy and are approved by recognized state or national physical therapy associations. Our online courses carry reciprocal acceptance for Washington CE hours.
The Biennial Hourly Breakdown
Washington physical therapy professionals must fulfill both educational and clinical practice baselines:
- Physical Therapists (PT): 32 CE hours and 200 hours of physical therapy employment every two years.
- Physical Therapist Assistants (PTA): 24 CE hours and 200 hours of physical therapy employment every two years.
- Mandatory Subjects: All licensees must complete 2 hours of Health Equity training every two years (counts toward total hours). A one-time, 3-hour Suicide Prevention training is also required.
