Application for Recognition of Advanced Proficiency for the Physical
Therapist Assistant
In June 2003, the APTA House of Delegates adopted RC 27-03, Post
Entry-Level Education and Recognition of Advanced Proficiency for the
Physical Therapist Assistant, a motion presented by the Board of
Directors. The Recognition of Advanced Proficiency for the Physical
Therapist Assistant program was developed as a result of this RC and
approved by the Board of Directors in July 2004.
The goal of the Recognition Program is to recognize physical
therapist assistants (PTAs) who have achieved advanced proficiency
through education, experience, leadership, and as part of the PT/PTA
team in a specified area of work — Musculoskeletal, Neuromuscular,
Geriatric, Pediatric, Integumentary, and/or Cardiopulmonary.
