I go to a lot of continuing education in-services at work but the points I can earn are very limited. How can I earn more points for continuing competence activities I participate in at work?
Licensees should share the continuing competence requirements for licensure renewal with their employers. An employer, facility, PT department or organization may become an approved provider for PT continuing competence activities in North Carolina. Approved providers who sponsor continuing education courses are able to have their activities count 1 hour of activity = 1 point. If these are continuing education courses the points are limited to 29 for PT’s and 19 for PTA’s vs. 5 in the workplace education category. Approved provider status may be something to consider. It allows licensees to complete the requirements without point limitations, with lower cost, less time away from work and directly related to their workplace PT practice.
