The American Physical Therapy Association has developed this Disciplinary Action Procedural Document to guide the Ethics and Judicial Committee, or EJC, a committee of the APTA Board of Directors, and Board of Directors in processing complaints against a member of APTA alleging the member has violated the Code of Ethics for the Physical Therapy Profession ("Code"). 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 before resorting to APTA's ethics complaint process. However, EJC will review the complaints of unethical conduct that it receives.
