What restrictions apply to the use of 'D.P.T.' by Physical Therapists?

  1. Any PT can use 'D.P.T.'

  2. Only PTs with a doctoral degree in PT

  3. Only PTs with over 10 years of experience

  4. PT aides can use 'D.P.T.'

The correct answer is: Only PTs with a doctoral degree in PT

Physical therapists (PTs) who want to use 'D.P.T.' in their title must have a doctoral degree in physical therapy. Option A is incorrect because not all PTs can use 'D.P.T.', only those with a doctoral degree. Option C is incorrect because there is no specific experience requirement for using 'D.P.T.'. Option D is incorrect because PT aides do not have a doctoral degree in PT and therefore cannot use 'D.P.T.' in their title.
