CAPP-OB Case Reflection Application

The Certificate of Achievement in Obstetric Health Physical Therapy (CAPP-OB) is awarded to licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) who complete a series of comprehensive evidence-based education courses, written and clinical testing at each level and a written case reflection rigorously reviewed by the CAPP Case Reflection Committee. Upon successful passing of the case reflection step, you will receive a Certificate of Achievement in Obstetric Health Physical Therapy (CAPP-OB) and if you are an Academy member, you will be listed in the CAPP Recipient Directory.

Helpful CAPP Case Reflection Guidelines

# 1 You must be a licensed Physical Therapist

# 2 Complete all required coursework through the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy within 5 years. Coursework that is older than 5 years will require you to retake the course that expired since the evidence is updated every 1-2 years (i.e. If you’ve taken a course in 2012, you will need to retake that course). Attend and successfully pass the three levels of the Pregnancy & Postpartum Physical Therapy track hosted by the Academy IN ANY ORDER.  You must pass the CAPP Scenario Testing at the end of each course and pass the Post-Course Exam (multiple-choice) after attending each course with an 80% score or higher.

• OBF – Fundamental Topics of Pregnancy & Postpartum Physical Therapy (lecture + lab)
• OBA – Advanced Topics of Pregnancy & Postpartum Physical Therapy (lecture + lab)
• OBI – Intrapartum Topics of Obstetric Physical Therapy (lecture + lab)

#3 Successfully “Pass” a completed Case Reflection within 1 year from the date you completed your last OB course.

Note: If you are not completely certain whether you qualify for the CAPP, please contact our office before proceeding with your application. You must complete all relative coursework within 5 years and will have up to 1 year to submit your case reflection after completing your last required course.

For example, if you submit a CAPP case reflection and application in February 2020, your coursework cannot be older than 2014. The latest coursework should have been completed between Feb 2015- Feb 2020.

COVID-19 Exception: If you took a CAPP webinar course between March 2020 – December 2021, you will have up to 2 years to submit your case reflection after completing your last required course. If you have other exceptions, please contact us at hello@aptapelvichealth.org.
