Continuing Education

In conjunction with the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (KSBHA) the KPTA approves courses for continuing education credit for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants licensed in Kansas. Additionally, the KPTA provides a continuing education tracking service to Kansas licensed PTs and PTAs. The KPTA tracking service is recognized by the KSBHA in that KSBHA acknowledges KPTA provided CE reports on behalf of tracking subscribers for their license renewal CE requirements.

Kansas licensed physical therapists must complete 40 hours of continuing education during each two-year cycle in order to renew his or her license. Kansas registered Physical therapist assistants must complete 20 hours of continuing education during each two-year cycle in order to renew his or her license. (See Rules & Regs in this section)

Providers or individuals who wish to seek approval of a course, program, or activity will find the information and applications in this section.

PTs/PTAs wishing to subscribe to the CE tracking service, view their CE reports, or locate pre-approved CE courses will find the information and applications in this section.
