JOINT BOARD
The Joint Board is made up of representatives from each of the three sections and one public member.

Public Member
The Public Member is required, by The Ohio Revised code, to be at least 60 years of age. That member's experiences and public protection perspective add continued depth to the business and operations of the Board.

Occupational Therapy Section
The Occupational Therapy Section is comprised of five occupational therapists.

Physical Therapy Section
The Physical Therapy Section is comprised of nine physical therapists. Five of these members have voting power on the Joint Board. Four of the committee members can not vote as a part of the Joint Board.

Athletic Trainers Section
The Athletic Trainers Section is comprised of four athletic trainers and one physician.

Current Board Members

The Joint Board members meet three times a year to discuss Joint Board issues such as finances, personnel issues, election of officers, the laws and rules, and other OTPTAT joint issues.

Each Section meets separately approximately eight times a year to discuss the applications, the laws and rules and other concerns of their respective professions.

Each Section determines their own rules and interpretations. Due to confidentiality, the complexity of issues and the interpretation of the practice acts by each Section, the staff can only give limited information over the telephone. Please submit your questions in writing and please be aware of the date of the next board meeting so the information may be submitted in a timely manner.
