The American Physical Therapy Association has developed this Disciplinary Action Procedural Document to guide the Ethics and Judicial Committee (EJC) and Board of Directors in processing complaints against a member of APTA alleging the member has violated the APTA Code of Ethics for the Physical Therapist (Code) or APTA Standards of Ethical Conduct for the Physical Therapist Assistant (Standards). Whenever feasible and appropriate, it is suggested that individuals first pursue other corrective steps within the relevant institution or setting or discuss ethical concerns directly with persons perceived to be violating the Code or Standards before resorting to APTA's ethics complaint process. However, the EJC will review complaints of unethical conduct that it receives.
