US-Educated PT/PTA Applicant — New Graduate

Military Expedite

Pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 115.4, each DCA licensing program is required to expedite the licensure/registration process for an applicant who served as an active-duty member of the U.S. armed forces and was honorably discharged.

For an applicant’s license/registration to be expedited, the applicant must supply evidence (copy of DD-214 – Certificate of Release or Discharge form) that he or she was an active-duty member of the U.S. armed forces who was honorably discharged.

Please note that this does not mean a license/registration must be issued, but simply requires the process to be accelerated.

Visit Military Resources for more information or contact PTBC if you have questions.
