How long is the renewal period for continuing education credits?

The renewal period for continuing education credits in Nebraska is 24 months. This timeframe is consistent with the requirements set forth by the Nebraska Board of Physical Therapy. Physical therapists are mandated to complete a certain number of continuing education units within this 24-month period to maintain their licensure. This system is designed to ensure that practitioners stay current with the latest practices, technologies, and developments in physical therapy, thus enhancing the quality of care provided to patients. By establishing a 24-month renewal period, the board strikes a balance between allowing enough time for professionals to acquire the requisite credits while also ensuring that continuing education is a consistent component of practicing physical therapy.
