APTA National - APTA Future of Physical Therapy Summit Video Contest

What does the future of physical therapy look like to you? How will you contribute to our association’s mission of building a community that advances the profession of physical therapy to improve the health of society?

We’re looking for students to submit short videos that answer these questions – and some of the best ones will be used during the Future of Physical Therapy Summit centennial event on September 13 and shared via APTA’s social media channels.

APTA is giving away APTA Centennial Journals to the first 50 students who submit videos that meet the contest requirements by the deadline.

The Impact of COVID on the NPTE

This session explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the administration of the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE). Speakers from FSBPT and our testing vendor, Prometric, will discuss the current status of the NPTE from scheduling examinations through scoring. We’ll share both how Prometric’s network is operating as of mid-2021 and their plans for the future. Specific Prometric topics will include their most up-to-date processes on candidate displacements, test center availability, and policies on social distancing and mask requirements. The FSBPT staff will cover COVID’s impact on exam administration, candidate performance, pass rates,
and waiting times to take the NPTE.
