The APTA, CPTA, and their numerous special interest groups and academies each have their own social media pages. Connecting with these accounts is a great way to get the most recent information - websites are often the last place to get updated! Follow the pages you’re interested in to make sure you have access to information as soon as it comes out. The CASSIG Instagram is a great place to find these pages, as our account follows most of these organizations already!

The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy is where you can find all the info regarding the NPTE exam.
