So I've been observing at a SNF for a couple weeks. And I've been wondering how I should record my hours in PTCAS since I have been shadowing 3-4 different physIcal therapists. Should I ask one of them to confirm all 30 hours of observation even though it wasn't all with that particular physical therapist?

Has anyone else had this issue?

Generally, in the larger facilities, one physical therapist verifies hours for the whole PT department. If no one is assigned that responsibility, you should ask one therapist if they'd be willing to do so. Good opportunity to get to know them better and finagle a letter of recommendation too!

thanks for the response! I guess that is what I will have to do.

Yep he's right. That's what I'm doing. I shadowed a ton of PT's this summer and am asking one PT from each location to verify hours when that time comes. Just stay in touch however you can.
