What is required if a licensee seeks to practice again after their license has been revoked?

Reinstatement of their old license
A new license must be obtained
They must take a suspension course
No action is necessary

The correct answer is: A new license must be obtained

When a physical therapy license is revoked, the individual is no longer legally permitted to practice until they take specific steps to re-enter the profession. The process requires the individual to apply for a new license altogether. This is because a revocation indicates a serious breach of regulations or law, which damages the credibility of the individual in the eyes of the licensing board. To start practicing again, they must meet the current licensing requirements, which may include fulfilling additional educational, ethical, or examination criteria that ensure they are fit for practice. Thus, obtaining a new license reflects the board's requirement for accountability and trustworthiness among licensed professionals. This approach serves as a safeguard to maintain professional standards and protect the public. The other options are not accurate in this context. Reinstating an old license is not possible after a revocation, as the original license is no longer valid. Taking a suspension course does not apply in this case since the license has been revoked rather than suspended. Finally, claiming no action is necessary contradicts the need for accountability and does not align with regulatory practices in the field.
