2.  The Department may issue a limited permit to an applicant
for licensure as a physical therapist (PT) or physical
therapist assistant (PTA) which authorizes the practice of
physical therapy under the on-site supervision of a New
York State licensed and currently registered PT.
 On-site supervision means that the supervising PT is in the
same facility as the permittee and readily available to him or
her.
 Supervision of a person on a PT limited permit need not be
on-site when the supervising PT has determined, through
evaluation, the setting of goals, and the establishment of a
treatment plan, that the program is one of maintenance. This
provision does not apply to limited permits for PTAs.

3.  Permits are valid for six months. The Department may issue
a renewal for an additional six-month period based upon:
 satisfactory evidence of:
 extenuating circumstances which prevented the permittee
from taking the licensing examination; or
 a demonstrated need for additional clinical training under
the supervision of a licensed PT; and
 documentation that the permittee is affirmatively pursuing
licensure by maintaining active examination and licensure
applications; and
 completion of an application for renewal of a PT or PTA
limited permit and payment of the limited permit fee.

4.  A PT may not supervise more than a total of four PTAs and
PTA permittees. While there is no statutory limit on the
number of PT permittees that may be supervised by a single
PT, it is strongly recommended that no PT supervise more
than four individuals at a single time.
 Supervising too many individuals may result in disciplinary
charges of "failing to exercise appropriate supervision over
persons who are authorized to practice only under the
supervision of the licensed professional."
 A physician or other health professional may not supervise
a PT or PTA permittee. On days that the supervising PT is
not on-site and a replacement supervisor is not available, the
PT or PTA permittee is not allowed to provide physical
therapy services, unless the PT program has been
determined to be one of maintenance, as described above

5.  New graduates of New York State-registered or APTA-accredited
physical therapist education programs may be employed for 90
days immediately following graduation without holding a limited
permit. To be eligible to practice within these 90 days, an
applicant must have:
 graduated from the physical therapist program and requested the
school to complete and submit the Form 2 to the Office of the
Professions;
 submitted the Application for Licensure and First Registration
(Form 1) and paid the required licensure application fee;
 submitted the Application for Limited Permit (Form 5), and paid
the required limited permit fee, and
 applied to take the licensing examination and paid the fee for the
examination

10. • Cardio-respiratory physiotherapist: Cardio-respiratory physiotherapists work
with patients who have diseases and injuries in the lungs and heart, such as
asthma. Their duties revolve around the rehabilitation and prevention of these
problems.
• The schedule and job scope of a physiotherapist can also differ. While
physiotherapists tend to work regular hours, it's not unusual for some to work
in the evenings or during weekends. While their tasks usually change
depending on their role and where they work, these are some of the common
duties and responsibilities of a physiotherapist:
1. Giving therapeutic massages

16.  Section 6732 of the Education Law limits the
practice of physical therapy and use of the
physical therapist title as follows: Only a
person licensed or otherwise authorized under
this article shall practice physical therapy or
use the title "physical therapist",
"physiotherapist" or "mechanotherapist" or the
abbreviation of "P.T." in connection with his or
her name or with any trade name in the
conduct of his profession.

17.  These provisions guarantee that professional
services will be provided by licensed
professionals without undue influence from
unlicensed third parties who are not subject to
the professional responsibility requirements
enumerated in Education Law. Therefore,
licensed PTs would be guilty of professional
misconduct if they were to share the profits of
their physical therapy practices with
shareholders of a general business
corporation. The penalties for professional
misconduct range from administrative warnings

18. 
Physicians may practice physical therapy
because they are authorized by law to perform
the services which are defined as the practice
of physical therapy, but they may not hold
themselves out as PTs. Physicians may also
employ PT s. This latter situation is not in
violation of the statutes or rules prohibiting fee
splitting, since a referral to an employee is not
a referral to a different principal and since the
remuneration of the employee is a term and
condition of employment and not a gratuity for
the referral or treatment.
