-
A physical therapist shall not supervise more physical therapist assistants at any one time than in the opinion of the board can be adequately supervised. Two physical therapist assistants shall be the maximum number of physical therapist assistants supervised by a physical therapist at any one time, but the board may permit the supervision of a greater number by a physical therapist if, in the opinion of the board, there would be adequate supervision and the public's health and safety would be served. In no case, however, shall the total number of physical therapist assistants exceed twice the number of physical therapists regularly employed by a facility at any one time.
(Amended by Stats. 1996, Ch. 829, Sec. 38. Effective January 1, 1997.)
