You can see if a course is approved by checking the accreditation. How to Check Accreditation
This course isn't approved for my discipline
MedBridge works with instructors and discipline consultants to determine if a course is applicable to each discipline (indicated as "Target Audience" in approvals).
This course is applicable to my discipline, but not approved in my state
Below is a summary of how we apply for courses for each state by discipline.
(Will My Courses be Applied for Renewed Approval?)
Physical Therapy (PT)
Courses are marked as approved based on individual state board requirements such as:
- State Board providership
- Individual Course approval
- Recognition of approval by another state's providership, state APTA chapter, or state board
Some state boards do not have CE approval requirements.
Courses are evaluated for application to approving entities based on:
- User feedback (quality and number of completions)
- Relevancy to discipline (e.g. part of discipline specific certificate programs)
- Regulating body feedback (content may be added or removed as state requirements change)
