Can a nonresident physical therapist licensed in another state teach in Ohio without an Ohio license?

A nonresident physical therapist licensed in another state can teach in Ohio without obtaining an Ohio license for a specific duration. This provision allows out-of-state professionals to contribute to the education of students while ensuring that the standards of practice and education within the state are upheld. Teaching for up to one year provides a temporary flexibility, likely to facilitate various educational opportunities while encouraging those who wish to engage within the Ohio system to pursue the necessary licensing.

This option aligns with policies that recognize the value of knowledgeable professionals in specialized fields, while also maintaining regulatory standards to ensure that all practicing and teaching individuals meet the state's qualifications, thus balancing expertise and public safety.
