Temporary License Requirements/Availability[1][edit | edit source]
The state of California allows fortemporary licensure pending a passing score on the NPTE. The graduate of an approved PT education program may file a complete application for licensure with the board for the first time and then, after receiving a letter of authorization from the board, practice as a "physical therapist license applicant" under direct supervision of a PT who is licensed in the state of California.
- If the applicant passes the examination, s/he may continue to practice as a "physical therapist license applicant" until a regular renewable license is issued, or until licensure is denied by the board.
- If the applicant fails the examination, or if s/he passes the examination but licensure is denied by the board, the applicant will be prohibited from peforming as a physical therapist license applicant at any time in the future.
Requirements: A person shall not be considered a graduate unless he or she has successfully completed all the clinical training and internships required for graduation from the program. An applicant may only qualify once to perform as a physical therapist license applicant.
