Maintaining licensure requires a commitment to lifelong learning. Most states require Physical Therapists to complete 20–30 contact hours of Continuing Education every two years. For Osteopathic professionals, requirements often include specific Category 1-A credits focused on manual medicine.

Navigating these requirements can be complex, so we've partnered with leading providers to curate evidence-based courses that fulfill your state's mandates while advancing your clinical skills.
