SUBJECT OF EXAMINATION: TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE EVALUATION
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION THOROUGHLY.
THIS INFORMATION WILL AFFECT YOUR FINAL GRADE!
The only subject of examination will be an evaluation of your training and experience. You will receive a grade on this exam based upon your Continuing Education and your licensed work experience as a Physical Therapist Assistant - and how you document the required information.
Be specific; vagueness and ambiguity will not be resolved in your favor. Additional information will not be accepted after submission of your application.
It is critical that you follow the directions exactly as shown below.
· In order to receive credit for continuing education, you must document 90 hours of continuing education (or 9 college credits) within the past 6 years. You must list your continuing education activities in chronological order and indicate the dates of participation, the number of contact hours, the topic and the sponsor of the activity. Each continuing education activity requires ONE of the following forms of documentation: a cancelled check, travel reimbursement, attendance slip or certificate of completion.
· In order to receive full credit for your work experience as a Physical Therapist Assistant you must include a copy of your ORIGINAL LICENSE from the State of New York. If you only include a copy of your current registration then you will not be given credit for any work experience as a Physical Therapist Assistant that pre-dates your current registration.
You must also supply all of the information requested on the application (form CSX-1) for each position you list. If you do not, you may not receive credit for that work experience.
Pay particular attention to the following items:
· The dates of your employment must be in mm/yy format,
· Do not write "varied" or give a range of hours for "Hours Worked per Week." Instead, estimate the number of hours worked in a typical week.
· Under "Title" and "Duties," clearly differentiate between licensed experience as a Physical Therapist Assistant and all other work experience.
Note regarding resumes: The submission of a resume – which is not required - does not relieve you of the responsibility for completing all sections of the application..
