Which of the following is NOT a requirement for an applicant educated in a foreign country to demonstrate minimum qualifications?

An applicant educated in a foreign country must adhere to specific requirements to validate their qualifications for practice in Florida. Among these requirements, demonstrating proficiency through a credential evaluation (a certified copy) is essential as it verifies that the foreign education is equivalent to the education required in the U.S. Clinical practice hours, either in the U.S. or as part of the educational program, are necessary to ensure that the applicant has adequate hands-on experience relevant to the U.S. healthcare system.

While successful completion of a specific exam in physical therapy, such as the National Physical Therapy Exam, is generally part of the licensure process, it is not explicitly listed as a requirement solely for validating minimum qualifications for foreign-educated applicants. Therefore, it is accurately identified as not being a mandatory requirement in this context. This reflects the emphasis on documentation and verified experience rather than merely passing an examination before considering an applicant's qualifications.
