The New York State Education Department (“SED”) Office of the Professions (“OP”) is alerting everyone to a vishing scam that has been brought to our attention. Phishing—or “vishing”—scams impersonate SED employees or websites attempting to collect licensure and personal information from the licensee. If you receive an inquiry which you believe to be suspicious do not provide any information. To verify if the inquiry was from OP, contact us directly. You may report any suspicious communication received to the Federal Trade Commission.

Physical Therapy Practice Alerts Now Available

The State Education Department's Physical Therapy web page has been updated to include a series of practice alerts, intended to provide physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and the public they serve with useful information on a variety of topics. Those topics include referrals, supervision, delegation of tasks, advertising, practice issues, recordkeeping, and permissible business entities. Developed in collaboration with the State Board for Physical Therapy, it is anticipated that the practice alerts will promote good practice and address many frequently asked questions. New alerts will be added as they become available. The alerts can be found on our web site at Practice Alerts for Physical Therapy.
