Legislative Update:
PTA Licensure Update
PTA Full License Packet Now Posted
Updated: Friday, December 10, 2010
The State of Michigan has posted the new application packet for PTAs to apply to receive their full PTA license.
Please note that primarily on pages 11 - 15 in the packet, the incorrect title "physical therapy assistant" is used several times. The State of Michigan is aware of this oversight and will correct the titles to state "physical therapist assistant" in the near future. This incorrect title will NOT affect your ability to apply for the full PTA license.
For PTAs who hold a current limited license, that license remains valid until December 31, 2011. The MPTA strongly encourages PTAs to apply for their full license well in advance of the 12/31/11 deadline to ensure that their ability to practice is NOT disrupted.
