What is the MAXIMUM number of years a retired licensee is allowed to remain in that status before the board may require full reexamination for current competency assessment if license reactivation is desired?

  1. 3

  2. 5

  3. 8

  4. 10

The correct answer is: 5

In Florida, the rules regarding retired licensees in the context of physical therapy stipulate that a retired licensee can maintain that status for a maximum of five years before being subjected to a requirement for full reexamination if they seek to reactivate their license. This policy is in place to ensure that professionals who have been away from practice for a significant period can demonstrate current competency in their field, as practices, technologies, and standards may have evolved during their time away. The five-year timeframe allows retired individuals the opportunity to remain engaged in their professional lives without the immediate pressure of requalification while still maintaining a connection to their profession. After this period, the board emphasizes the importance of ensuring that all practicing professionals meet contemporary standards and possess updated knowledge and skills, hence the requirement for reexamination.
