Board Certification

Pathways for Physical Therapists

Board certification is an important milestone for physical therapists looking to be lifelong learners and leaders in physical therapy. Sitting for the test can be difficult and uncertain, but it doesn’t have to be. There are several different pathways you can take to get your board certification. Choosing the right path depends on many factors, like where you are in your career (just starting out or experienced), the time commitment you’re able to make, and your preference. Here’s a look at the paths available to you through educational offerings at EIM.
