As regulated healthcare professionals, Alberta physical therapists are accountable for providing safe, competent, quality and ethical patient care and practicing within the College’s practice standards and guidelines.

The members section of this site was developed to:

  • help inform, guide and support member adherence to regulatory obligations,
  • support best practice,
  • and assist member practice through professional practice advice and resources.

Here you will find a variety of regulatory and practice related information, tools and resources including: professional practice resources, member services access, and information on permit renewal, approved business arrangements and continuing competence.

Self-regulation – privilege and responsibility
Physical therapy in Alberta is self-regulated and governed. Self-regulation is a privilege not a right. It includes the responsibility to adhere to regulatory obligations and a responsibility to actively participate in the self-regulation process for the betterment of the profession, physical therapy delivery, patient care and the health of Albertans. Contact the College to learn how you can get involved.
