Temporary License Requirements/Availability[edit | edit source]

37-11-310. Foreign-trained applicants. The foreign-trained physical therapist applicant's transcripts will be evaluated by a board-approved agency which reviews credentials. Upon receipt of this evaluation the board shall determine whether the number of academic credits awarded meets equivalent educational standards for a physical therapist degree or certificate established by an American physical therapist association accredited school of physical therapy. If the applicant's professional education credit hours are approved by the board, the applicant is eligible for a temporary license prior to examination.[1] 


After researching other websites I found that:

Limited Permit: Yes. Valid until applicant either fails or passes the first licensing exam; applicant must schedule the exam within 120 days of issuance of temporary license.[2]


Temporary License: No. The board may issue a license to a PT or PTA who is currently licensed in another state.[2]


The fee for a temporary license is $100.00.[2]
