Nancy V. Karp, EdD, PT A b s t r a c t The purpose of this study was to gather information as a first step toward developing programs in continuing education for physical therapists in Georgia. The instrument used to collect data was a questionnaire mailed to a random sample of licensed physical therapists residing in the state. Physical therapists preferred lecture and seminar/workshops as the instructional delivery system for continuing education, and they had a strong educational need in the area of orthopedic physical therapy. They preferred to have continuing education activities held at hotel/convention centers, at locations around the state during the morning hours in the autumn, and winter. Significant barriers to attendance at continuing education programs included the cost of the program, a traveling distance of over 150 miles, loss of time with family, previous experience with programs, lack of information about available courses, and lack of pertinent programs. The continuing education preferences and barriers described in this paper can be used as a basis for implementing changes in current practices.
