Florida Physical Therapy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

For every hour taught by the instructor, how many contact hours are applied towards continuing education requirements?

1. One contact hour

2. Two contact hours

3. Three contact hours

4. Four contact hours

The correct answer is: One contact hour

The continuing education requirements for physical therapists in Florida stipulate that for every hour of instruction provided by an instructor, one contact hour is applied towards the continuing education requirements. This means that if an instructor teaches a course for one hour, the attending physical therapists will earn one contact hour towards their required continuing education. This system is designed to ensure that education requirements are straightforward and easily measurable, allowing practitioners to track their progress in meeting the mandatory continuing education standards for licensure renewal. The other options suggest a higher allocation of contact hours per hour taught, which does not align with the established guidelines for continuing education in Florida.
