Hi everyone. I've previously posted a topic about taking tDPT last June, now that I'm taking it... I feel like I would benefit much more from taking continuing education classes.
My only concern is... is it true that I wouldn't be able to practice as a physical therapist in the future without a doctorate degree, even if I have my license? I only have around 1 year of experience and I live in the NJ area.
I see no mention anywhere that DPT will become mandatory to practicing therapists. I would rather spend my money toward classes that would benefit me as a clinician rather than take the tDPT.
Even more is that the continuing education classes would be cheaper than the tDPT.
Would I still be able to practice as a physical therapist in the next 10-20 years if I end up taking the continuing education route instead?
Thank you in advance for any responses/comments.
