FSBPT Payment Options Changed Effective October 1, 2008

Before you indulge in your appetizers, make sure to take note of this announcement first from the FSBPT.

The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) has recently announced that they will no longer be accepting bank checks as forms of payment when registering for an exam or purchasing related services from the Federation.

At its August 14, 2008 conference call, the FSBPT Board of Directors decided to eliminate the option of paying by check when registering for an exam or purchasing related services from the Federation. Candidates and licensees will be required to pay by credit card or debit card for all transactions.

Rationale: Currently a very small percentage of transactions are paid for by check or money order. Eliminating checks will expedite the processing of requests and reduce the staff time required. If a candidate decides to cancel their registration, paying by credit card expedites the entire refund process.

Please Note: This change will be effective October 1, 2008.

National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month

September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month in the US. It is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT).

It is possible to treat addiction, whether it be submitting oneself for alcohol rehab or getting into a drug treatment center. The important thing is to acknowledge that there is a problem and be open to accept help. Recovery is not an easy process but there is a whole lot of support available out there if one is willing to reach out. Such is the aim of this awareness campaign.

National Women’s Health & Fitness Day

National Women’s Health & Fitness Day in the US will be celebrated on the 24th of September, 2008. This unique program, along with other local organizations, focuses on the importance of regular physical activity and health awareness for women so that they may not solely rely on health supplements such as CLA.

Why Have a National Women’s Health & Fitness Day?
The goal of this event is to encourage women to take control of their health: to learn the facts they need to make smart health choices, and to make time for regular physical activity.

Because of its grassroots nature, the event provides an excellent opportunity for local organizations to showcase the health-related programs and services they offer to women in their communities.
