Physical Therapy Licensure Compact

The PT Compact covers both physical therapists and physical therapist assistants, allowing practice in member states through a Compact Privilege without additional state licenses.

Alaska is not a PT Compact member state. You will need to apply for a Alaska PTA license by endorsement, regardless of whether you hold a compact license in another state.
