About This Approval

Provider Reports CE/CME to CE Broker

The Arkansas State Board of Physical Therapy (ASBPT) no longer pre-approves CE courses. Per the Board: “Other sponsors have asked if courses approved by other state agencies are approved in Arkansas. The answer to this is the courses are not automatically approved but will more than likely be approved when submitted by a licensee.”

Physical therapists must complete, in each biennium (two-year period), twenty (20) CE hours and physical therapist assistants are required to complete, in each biennium, ten (10) CE hours. The limit for online continuing education is 50% our live online events count as in person. This must be obtained within the 24-months preceding the odd-numbered year renewal.

A passing score of 70% on the Arkansas State Board of Physical Therapy Jurisprudence Exam is required for license renewal. The exam counts as 1 hour of (online) continuing education. Register here: https://www.ark.org/asbpt_exam/registration
