24 hours
12 hours
18 hours
36 hours

The correct answer is: 24 hours

In Florida, licensed physical therapists are required to complete 24 hours of continuing education during each renewal cycle. This requirement is established to ensure that practitioners stay updated on the latest advancements in their field, maintain competency, and adhere to evolving standards of care. This continuing education can be critical in areas such as new treatment techniques, patient safety practices, legal and ethical issues in practice, and developments in physical therapy research. While some other professions may have different requirements for continuing education, the mandate for 24 hours specifically aligns with Florida's legislative framework aimed at protecting public health and enhancing the quality of care provided by physical therapists.
