PTJ Author Interview: Credentialism and the CAPTE 50 Percent Requirement
In this episode of the PTJ Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Steven George, PT, PhD, FAPTA, talks with Andrew Hogan, PhD, about his recently published perspective on the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education standard requiring that at least 50% of core faculty in all physical therapist education programs hold an academic doctorate of PhD, EdD, or ScD. They discuss the history of the standard, why it could be a barrier to entry for faculty, and how academic physical therapy is unique compared to other fields.Hogan is the author of the article “Credentialism and Barriers to Entry: A Historical and Sociological Analysis of the CAPTE 50 Percent Requirement for Physical Therapy Faculty With Academic Doctorates (https://academic.oup.com/ptj/article/105/9/pzaf095/8206128).” Read the article on the PTJ website and follow PTJ on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/ptjournal?trk=public_post_follow-view-profile) and Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/ptjournal.bsky.social) for more research updates.
