ABPTRFE initiates a systematic review of its quality standards at regular five-year intervals. These reviews assess the effectiveness of the accreditation process to support the development and ongoing accessibility of quality residency and fellowship clinical and nonclinical physical therapist residency and fellowship programs. These reviews focus on realigning the quality standards to address changes in residency and fellowship education, patient care needs, and the physical therapist population.

At its Jan. 19 meeting, ABPTRFE proposed changes to its quality standards for clinical physical therapist residency and fellowship programs, and to quality standards for nonclinical physical therapist residency and fellowship programs.

ABPTRFE is now calling for comments to encourage broad participation in the standards revision process.

Your input is greatly appreciated!

Review the summary of proposed changes.

ABPTRFE greatly appreciates and will thoughtfully consider all input received. At our May 2022 meeting we will review and either approve or deny proposed changes to the quality standards.
