So here is the situation: My fiance has graduated from a DPT program but is having trouble passing the board exam. He now has to wait until October to retake it. He is from Texas, and in that state, you may sit for the PTA board exam if you have graduated from a DPT program. He lives in WV now where that is not allowed, but is considering going back to Texas just to sit for the PTA exam so that he has a better form of income until he hopefully passes the NPTE in October. However, we aren't sure if he will have any difficulty transferring that PTA license to WV if he passes. I contacted the WV board to see if they had any rules against doing this, but they don't have any rules that specifically address this situation. It would have to be brought up at the next board meeting and then they would make a final decision. I would rather not do that if we don't have to. Has anyone else ever taken the PTA exam as a DPT and transferred their license to another state? I'm a PT myself but have no experience in this area and would appreciate any input. Thanks!
