Continuing Education
Offering continuing education is an important part of our mission in the Division of Physical Therapy of service to the State of North Carolina. Our diverse and talented faculty offer continuing education through a variety of avenues including face-to-face courses in Chapel Hill and through the North Carolina AHEC system. Online continuing education modules are also in development. All continuing education offered through UNC-CH is approved by the North Carolina Board of PT Examiners for Continued Competence credits (10 contact hours equivalent to 1 CEU).
