Arizona Physical Therapy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

What must a retired licensee do every two years?

1. Engage in continuing education

2. Renew their retired license or certificate

3. Submit a renewal application

4. Pay a renewal fee

The correct answer is: Renew their retired license or certificate

A retired licensee is required to renew their retired license or certificate every two years to maintain their status. This process serves to ensure that the retired licensee is still recognized under the state regulations even if they are not currently practicing. By renewing their license, the retired individual demonstrates their ongoing commitment to maintaining the integrity of the profession and their eligibility to re-enter practice if they choose to do so in the future. While continuing education, submitting a renewal application, and paying a renewal fee are typically important for active licensees, a retired licensee's primary obligation is to ensure that their retired status remains valid through the renewal process. This distinguishes their requirements from those actively practicing physical therapy, who must meet additional criteria such as completing continuing education units or other professional development activities.
