Physical Therapy Licensure Compact

The PT Compact allows physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to practice in member states through a Compact Privilege, without obtaining additional state licenses.

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