Logo for JOSPT Read for Credit continuing education program

 


In the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy's Read for Credit (RFC) program, Journal readers critically analyze selected JOSPT articles and take online quizzes about what they have read. Those who successfully complete the quizzes and evaluations of the experience may then receive continuing education credit toward state licensure requirements. 

 

Testing Process

RFC participants study a selected article and, when ready, access a quiz associated with that article. Quizzes are timed at 30 minutes. Participants have 2 opportunities to achieve a passing score. Participants may review their answers - both correct and incorrect - before the second attempt. Upon successful completion of an article quiz, participants evaluate the experience and are then awarded a personalized Certificate of Continuing Education Credits. RFC participants maintain a history of quizzes taken and credit certificates awarded in the "My CEUs" section of their "My JOSPT" account. 

         

Cost to Participate

All JOSPT RFC quiz-articles are available online at no charge. The cost to participate in the RFC continuing education program is $30 per quiz-article to individual Journal subscribers and members of either APTA's Orthopaedic or Sports Physical Therapy Section. The cost is $45 per quiz-article to Section non-members and to individuals who access JOSPT through institutional subscriptions. 

     

JOSPT also now offers readers the opportunity to purchase multiple quizzes at a discount. Our current packages include 3 quizzes at a 5% discount, 5 quizzes at a 10% discount, 10 quizzes at a 15% discount, and 20 quizzes at a 20% discount. To take advantage of these discounts, please log in or create a guest account and go to Buy RFC Quiz Packages at a Discount. Clinic directors may purchase a package and assign or share quizzes with staff members who have a JOSPT account. To establish an account, please go to FIRST-TIME LOGIN and set up your account as an APTA Orthopaedic Section or Sports Physical Therapy Section member, a JOSPT subscriber, or a guest.

    

Please Note: Because of the nature of the online article-quiz, once a JOSPT online user begins the quiz, there are no cancellations or refunds. If the user fails the article quiz on the first attempt, the user may review his or her answers and take the quiz one more time.

     

JOSPT Continuing Education Approval and RFC Coordinator

     

JOSPT's RFC program has continuing education approval from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), which, in turn, is an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). APTA reviews and approves all JOSPT article quizzes, and awards 0.2 CE units, or 2 contact hours, to participants who pass each RFC quiz with a score of 75% or better.

      

In addition, APTA files for approval of JOSPT RFC article quizzes in the 3 states that do not automatically accept APTA courses; these states include Nevada, Ohio, and Oklahoma. Thus far, the Journal's article quizzes have been accepted for credit in all 3 states.

    

JOSPT is also recognized by the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) Board of Certification, Inc. as an Approved Provider of continuing education for Certified Athletic Trainers (BOC Approved Provider number P8173), awarding 0.2 CE units, or 2 contact hours for each quiz successfully attempted with a score of 75% or above.

      

Further, individual quiz-takers may independently seek approval from their licensure agencies of the Journal's RFC program as an accepted form of continuing education. Article quizzes expire 1 year from posting on the JOSPT website.

     

The Journal's Read for Credit Coordinator is Jill M. Thein-Nissenbaum, PT, DSc, SCS, ATC. Dr. Thein-Nissenbaum is currently an instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Madison, Wisconsin. She is responsible for educational planning for continuing education quiz-article topics, quiz question formulation and writing, and program outcome and satisfaction assessment. She can be reached at thein@pt.wisc.edu.
