Board-Certified Women's Health Clinical Specialist
Women’s Health Specialist Certification
managed by the American Board of Physical Therapist Specialties (ABPTS)
The American Board of Physical Therapist Specialties (ABPTS) oversees the Women’s Health Clinical Specialist (Board-Certified Women's Health Clinical Specialist) board certification. The “Board-Certified Women's Health Clinical Specialist” post-nominal initials (meaning, letters behind one’s name) indicates that a Physical Therapist (PT) has proven that he/she has the knowledge, skill, and experience exceeding that of an entry-level physical therapist and unique to the area of women’s health practice. The Board-Certified Women's Health Clinical Specialist examination is a comprehensive assessment of all areas described in the Women’s Health Description of Specialty Practice (DSP). The Board-Certified Women's Health Clinical Specialist is not administered nor facilitated by the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy. Please direct all Board-Certified Women's Health Clinical Specialist-related questions to the ABPTS at spec-cert@apta.org. Please visit the ABPTS Board-Certified Women's Health Clinical Specialist website to learn more about eligibility requirements, key deadlines, check the status of your application and additional information about this certification.
