Defining, assessing, and measuring ongoing or continuing professional competence in physical therapy has been receiving more attention, perhaps due in part to the increasing reality of direct access (e.g., examination and treatment of patients without referral), increased professional autonomy, and the transition to the doctor of physical therapy as the entry-level degree. The purpose of this paper is to review recent initiatives related to competence beyond initial licensure and give examples of the multidimensional nature of assessing continuing professional competency in physical therapy.
界定、评估和衡量物理治疗领域持续的专业能力受到了越来越多的关注，这可能部分归因于直接就诊（例如，无需转诊即可对患者进行检查和治疗）的现实情况日益增多、专业自主权的增加以及向以物理治疗博士作为入门级学位的转变。本文的目的是回顾与初始执业许可之外的能力相关的近期举措，并举例说明评估物理治疗领域持续专业能力的多维度性质。
