The over use of occupational licensing has some well documented negative effects, see https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc1/OccupationalLicensing.html https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc1/OccupationalLicensing.h... for some points about it.
However, physical therapists already have an occupational licensing exam. You could argue that it’s not hard enough, as it does have a high pass rate for those who have graduated from a PT university program, but then you start drifting into “no true Scotsman” territory.

- omosubi 5y agoYes this is true. I realize my comment had the wrong tenor in that the actual exams matter less than just having rigorous courses. Not everyone should be a doctor or a physical therapist or a software engineer and it's common nowadays to credential so that some institution can make money.
