Who is delegated the authority to issue an initial probationary license?

  1. The state governor

  2. The board president or VP

  3. Any licensed PT

  4. The head of the state medical board

The correct answer is: The board president or VP

The initial probationary license for PTs is usually issued by the board president or vice president rather than the state governor, any licensed PT, or the head of the state medical board. This is because the board president or VP is responsible for overseeing licensing and regulatory matters for the profession, and has the necessary expertise and authority to make informed decisions regarding initial probationary licenses. While any licensed PT may have knowledge and experience in the field, they may not have the necessary authority to issue initial licenses. Similarly, the head of the state medical board may have authority over the medical profession, but may not have expertise in the specific field of physical therapy.
