Description of Specialty Practice: Sports Physical Therapy - Digital Download

The “Description of Specialty Practice: Sports Physical Therapy” serves as the basis for the specialist certification exam and is a valuable aid in determining your readiness for specialist certification in sports physical therapy. The DSP includes an assessment tool helps you identify discrepancies between your current and desired levels of practice. Once you've assessed your practice level, you can map out your plan for continuing education and professional development. The assessment tool includes suggestions for follow-up and development of an action plan.

Specialist Applicants! No need to order here — as part of your application fee for board certification, you will receive the DSP and Assessment Tool upon receipt of your application fee. If you’re not yet ready or not planning to apply for specialist certification, the descriptions of specialty practice still can show you the level of knowledge and practice needed for specialty practice in one of the areas of board certification: Cardiovascular and Pulmonary, Clinical Electrophysiologic, Geriatric, Neurologic, Oncologic, Orthopaedic, Pediatric, Sports, Women’s Health, and, coming in 2021, Wound Management Physical Therapy.
