The
State Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Board
is staffed by the Division of Corporation and Professional Licensing.
The Board consists of one physician, three physical
therapists or physical therapy assistants, two occupational
therapists or occupational therapy assistants, and one
public member. Board members are appointed by the governor
and confirmed by the Legislature.
The
Board adopts regulations to carry out laws governing
the practice of physical therapy and occupational therapy
in Alaska. It makes final licensing decisions and takes
disciplinary actions against people who violate licensing
laws. The Board meets two times a year and offers
a public comment period at each meeting. Meeting agendas
and minutes are available from the licensing examiner
and will be posted to this website once prepared.
