Physical Therapy Board of California
CAL-JAM (Jurisprudence Assessment Module) goes live July 1, 2024
The PTBC is excited to announce that the California Law Exam is changing to the CAL-JAM (Jurisprudence Assessment Module)! This change will take effect on July 1, 2024, and will benefit both licensees and applicants.
The CAL-JAM is an online, on demand jurisprudence tool, that not only ensures that applicants and licensees understand the laws and regulations governing the practice of physical therapy in the state of California, but also serves as a learning tool.
Benefits of the CAL-JAM include:
- Licensees can take the CAL-JAM from anywhere online to meet the 2 hours in ethics, laws and regulations requirement (CCR 1399.93) without having to go through the process to register at a prometric site and paying that extra fee.
- The total cost to take the CAL-JAM ($50) is about half the price of the previous Cal Law Exam ($95).
- Ensures licensees and applicants taking the exam understand the laws and regulations governing the practice of physical therapy and serves as a learning tool as well as an exam. • No more having to take the exam at a prometric center for applicants either. Instead, the applicant logs into their FSBPT customer account and registers, they will have immediate access to take the CAL-JAM on their personal computer.
- Feedback is immediately provided during the exam.
- If someone answers a question incorrectly, they are given a list of the laws and regulations supporting the question and have another opportunity to answer the question one more time.
- The purpose is to ensure that the applicant or licensee learns about the laws and regulations, and not just knows enough to achieve a passing score.
