What privilege does the PT compact allow PTs in a participating state regarding practice in Ohio?

The PT compact grants licensed physical therapists (PTs) the privilege to practice physical therapy in Ohio as long as they hold a valid license in a participating state. This compact facilitates the ability of PTs to provide treatment across state lines, enhancing access to care for patients while maintaining standards of practice. The main focus of the compact is specifically on the practice of physical therapy, streamlining the process for therapists and allowing them to efficiently serve patients in different jurisdictions without needing to obtain a separate license in each state they provide services.

The other options center around different aspects of professional engagement or roles within the field of physical therapy, which may not be directly related to the fundamental right offered by the PT compact. For instance, working with students, opening a clinic, or supervising other therapists are not privileges conferred explicitly by the compact. These activities may have their own regulatory requirements and do not fall under the notion of being able to practice as a licensed PT in another state.
