Licensees who fail to meet their continuing education requirements risk incurring what type of penalty?

Revocation of license
Monetary fines
Suspension of practice
Mandatory community service

The correct answer is: Monetary fines

Failing to meet continuing education requirements can lead to monetary fines. This is a common penalty for licensed professionals, including physical therapists, who do not fulfill the mandatory educational obligations designed to ensure that they stay updated on the current practices and standards in their field. The purpose of these fines is primarily to encourage compliance with professional standards and to emphasize the importance of ongoing education. While other penalties, such as revocation of a license or suspension of practice, could also result from more severe or repeated violations, they are not typically the immediate consequences for failing to complete continuing education. Mandatory community service would generally not be applied in this context as it is not a standard penalty for educational compliance failures among healthcare professionals. Therefore, monetary fines are a fitting result in this scenario.
