Board of Directors Page
APTA North Carolina and NCBPTE
The North Carolina Board of Physical Therapy Examiners (NCBPTE) members are appointed by the governor of North Carolina from a list compiled by APTA North Carolina. Additional information on this process can be found on our Licensing Board Appointments page.
Nominations are due by 6/12/2026.
When considering who to nominate, please consider the following.
The Practice Act requires that:
A. Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants who serve on the Board:
- must be licensed and reside in North Carolina.
- have not less than three years' experience in physical therapy immediately preceding appointment; and
- Shall be actively engaged in practice during incumbency and must be employed or otherwise actively engaged in a position that includes at least 1000 hours annually devoted to review, oversight, supervision, administration, teaching, or providing physical therapy services for patients, clients, or the public.
B. Consideration should be given to:
- geographic distribution.
- practice setting (institution, independent, academic, etc.); and
- other factors that will promote representation of all aspects of physical therapy practice on the Board.
Other factors to consider in your selection include the overall professional qualifications of the individual. Please note that APTA NC membership is not a requirement, as the Board is a state agency and not a part of APTA NC.
The Duties of Board members include but are not limited to:
- attend meetings - approximately four - six full day meetings a year.
- review license applications and attend to other business by email.
- consider disciplinary action against licensees; and
- participate in making policy regarding Board matters.
