2. Click on “Laws and Rules” in the right hand column. That will open a new page. Look down toward the middle of the page and under the heading “Laws and Rules Information”.
3. Click on “Candidate Information Booklet”. Review the material. If you do not yet have your Laws and Rules booklet, you may obtain it here also by clicking on “Study Guide and Law and Rules” just above it.
4. Go back to the site above and click on “Frequently Asked Questions”. Review anything of interest to you.
5. Go back to the site above and in the middle column, click on “License Verification”. Scroll down to the link and click on “verify a licensed health care provider”. Just for fun, see if you can find your clinical instructor or physician and verify that their license is up to date. (This is also where you can look after you take your licensing exam. Dr. Ledbetter says that sometimes the results will be posted here before you personally will get the notification.)
6. Read the July 2010 Edition of the Board of Physical Therapy Practice Laws and Rules booklet. (If you are a coffee drinker, have a cup or two firstJ).
7. Go back to the Course Menu buttons on the left side of the entry page for Blackboard (where the announcements are when you first open this course). Click on the button for the “Sample Laws and Rules Test”. Take the test. Remember, choose the ONE BEST answer. You will have an hour and may take it a maximum of 3 times.
