As of June 25, 2009, the state of Michigan began granting licensure to Physical Therapy Assistants.
The Board of Physical Therapy and the MI Dept of Community Health are developing the minimum standards for PTA’s looking to be licensed in the state. In the meantime a limited Physical Therapy Assistant license can be provided to applicants that have graduated from PTA education program that is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) or be equivalent to a CAPTE PTA program.
The issuance of limited PTA license will no longer be issued after December 31, 2010 and after January 1, 2011 all PTA’s wishing to practice in the state of Michigan, must have either a limited or full Physical Therapy license.
