orthotherapist -> Re: CE vs. Board Certification vs. MSPT vs. DPT (February 8, 2007 3:10:00 AM)

The advantages as professionals include continued professional growth as therapists/clinicians. You must look at your career goals to determine what is appropriate for you.
Look at the APTA website and they will discuss these various options on there.
Patients benefit when their therapists use up to date evidence-based practices to treat the patients.
Board certification (OCS, etc) gives you recognition as being specialized in one area of clinical practice. The DPT provides training that includes differential diagnosis, radiology etc.
Everyone has there own opionins on what is best, but in the end you need to look at your goals as a therapist and map out what you feel will allow you to be the best you can be so your patients can be the best they can be.
Hope this helps
