Physical Therapist Exam (PTE)

The Physical Therapist Exam (PTE) is a comprehensive assessment used to evaluate a candidate's knowledge and skills necessary for safe and effective physical therapy practice. It typically includes multiple-choice questions and practical components that cover topics like anatomy, patient assessment, treatment planning, and therapy techniques. The exam ensures that future physical therapists have the competence to provide quality care, adhere to professional standards, and understand ethical and legal responsibilities. Passing the PTE is usually a requirement for licensure, confirming that the practitioner is prepared to safely assist patients in improving mobility and managing pain.
