Physical Therapist Other Requirements
Recommendation Letter
Three letters of recommendation are required. At least two must be from a PT or PTA
supervising your observation or work hours.
Observation/Work Hours
A minimum of 20 hours is required, with 8 hours minimum from two different entities.
You cannot submit observation hours for one company working at two different locations.
These hours are encouraged to come from different areas of physical therapy. Hours
will only be counted if supervised by a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant.
The applicant needs to track the hours and ensure future communication with the supervising
PT/PTA for signing off on the hours.

Applicants are required to take the ATI TEAS test for ALLIED HEALTH. The overall score
on the TEAS test will be counted on the Scoring Rubric. The minimum score needed to

Scores can only be reported from August 2023 – April 2024 for up to two times. Scores cannot be combined from two different testing times, and scores from only one attempt can be used.
