Physical Therapy Licensure Compact
The Physical Therapy Licensure Compact (PTLC) is an agreement among participating states in the United States that allows licensed physical therapists to practice across state lines without needing multiple licenses. This compact aims to improve access to physical therapy services, especially in underserved areas, by streamlining the licensing process.
Under the PTLC, physical therapists can apply for a compact privilege, enabling them to work in any member state. This initiative enhances mobility for healthcare professionals and helps meet the growing demand for physical therapy services, ultimately benefiting patients and communities across the nation.
