Practice Review Tool
PRT is a Unique Continuing Competence Tool
The PRT (Practice Review Tool) is a whole new kind of tool. It's a scenario-based, computerized, multiple-choice assessment that focuses on clinical application of knowledge skills and abilities. This is different than anything that has been available to PTs in the past. If licensees are interested in an objective measure of their knowledge, skills, and abilities as compared to current entry-level practice, then the PRT is for them. The PRT is not an axam and is not a requirement for licensure renewal. It is one choice in the large world of continuing competence/continuing education options.
