Who does not have to be a licensed PT in the PT corporation?

  1. The chief financial officer

  2. The CEO

  3. The secretary and assistant treasurer

  4. The director of physical therapy services

The correct answer is: The secretary and assistant treasurer

While all of the positions listed are required to be licensed PTs in order to work in the PT corporation, the one exception is the secretary and assistant treasurer. This is because their roles do not involve the direct provision of physical therapy services. The chief financial officer may handle financial aspects of the business, but may also need to have a PT license in order to oversee certain aspects related to physical therapy. The CEO may also need to be a licensed PT if they are actively involved in the provision or management of physical therapy services. Similarly, the director of physical therapy services is directly responsible for overseeing the delivery of physical therapy services within the corporation and would therefore need to be a licensed PT. It is only in the role of secretary and assistant treasurer that a PT license is not required.
