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.

Michigan is a PT Compact member state. If your primary state of residence is also a compact member, you may be able to practice in Michigan under your multistate license or compact privilege without applying for a separate Michigan license.
