The WVBOPT and West Virginia Physical Therapy Association (WVPTA) are two separate entities. The role and mission of the WVBOPT is to regulate the profession and to protect the public.
The WVPTA is an organization that represents the Physical Therapists and the Physical Therapist Assistants in the State.
Association Dues paid into the WV Chapter are separate and distinct from License Fees that are paid to the WV Board of Physical Therapy. Association Dues will afford PT's and PTA's in the State an opportunity to network and stay abreast of any Legislation that may be proposed that could impact the profession.
