CAPTE's scope includes accrediting PT and PTA programs; how many PT programs are accredited in Scotland?

• A. CAPTE currently accredits over 250 PT education programs and over 350 PTA education programs in the US and one PT education program in Scotland.
• B. CAPTE accredits PT programs only in Scotland.
• C. CAPTE accredits exactly 300 PT programs and 400 PTA programs worldwide.
• D. CAPTE accredits PT and PTA programs exclusively in the US.

Answer: (A)

CAPTE’s scope covers accrediting PT and PTA programs, primarily in the United States, with a single international example in Scotland. The correct choice reflects that reality by stating CAPTE accredits over 250 PT programs and over 350 PTA programs in the US and one PT education program in Scotland. That single Scotland program directly answers how many PT programs are accredited there. The other options misstate CAPTE’s reach or the numbers: none limit accreditation to Scotland, some give exact worldwide totals that don’t match CAPTE’s actual counts, and one claims accreditation is exclusively in the US.
