Hi,
I plan to apply for WA state PT lisensure by endorsement.
I hold ative MI state license, MHS,PT degree from UFL. I did bachelors in PT from India
What I have gathered is I do not have to undergo credential evaluation.
Plz correct me if this is not true.
Is there anyone with a similar situation applying/having WA license?
Plz enlighten.
Thank you
Shalaka

Anyone who gets his professional PT degree from outside the US must go through credential evaluation.

Hi,
I have been told by the officials that I will not need credential evaluation as UF degree is CAPTE approved.
Thanks

You are one of the lucky ones. There are many who do have to go through it and the process can be lengthy and sometimes disappointing, as I have been hearing.
