Abstract

<p>[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify physical therapists’ levels of competencies and their changes over time. [Participants and Methods] The participants of the research were 38 physical therapists who belonged to 7 medical facilities and had passed the National Physical Therapist Examination in 2013. The research was conducted using CEPT, and it assessed how physical therapists’ competencies changed during the first 3 years after they acquired their qualification. [Results] There was a significant difference in the total score of CEPT, especially immediately after obtaining the qualification and after 1-3 years of experience. From the early stage of the years of experience, there were items that scored high and items that increased with experience. The characteristics of the change of the score of each item were classified into three types. [Conclusion] The level of physical therapists’ competencies varied depending on the content. Also, it was found that there are features that improve at a relatively early stage and there are characteristics that improve with some experience.</p>
