How many hours are awarded for participating in a residency/fellowship program?

Participating in a residency or fellowship program is recognized as a significant means of professional development in the field of physical therapy. According to the guidelines established for continuing education and professional development within the state of Nebraska, participants in such programs are awarded hours to acknowledge the time and effort committed to this advanced training.

The correct option indicates that participants earn 1 hour for each month of their participation in a residency or fellowship program. This hour reflects the continuing education credits that practitioners can accumulate as they enhance their skills and knowledge through structured training experiences. The format is designed to provide a manageable and realistic assessment of participation, aligning with the broader standards set for continuing education in the profession.

Such awards serve to incentivize further education while ensuring that physical therapists can maintain their licenses through documented professional growth.
