Does Ohio participate in the Physical Therapy Compact?

Ohio is indeed a full member of the Physical Therapy Compact, which allows physical therapists licensed in member states to practice in other member states without needing an additional license. This compact aims to simplify the licensing process for physical therapists and enhance access to care across state lines.

By joining the compact, Ohio has committed to the standards and regulations set forth in the agreement, facilitating greater mobility for physical therapists and improving healthcare access for patients. This status as a full member means that physical therapists in Ohio can practice in other compact states, provided they adhere to the compact's guidelines, thus benefiting both practitioners and patients. The commitment to integration with other states through this compact demonstrates Ohio's recognition of the importance of portability of physical therapy licenses in an increasingly mobile society.
