DRY NEEDLING ROSTER - BC 


NEW REQUIREMENT 

Practitioners registered in the province of British Columbia are required to be on the College of Physical Therapists of BC's Dry Needling Roster.


DRY NEEDLING ROSTER


"Note that unless you are a full registrant and have been notified that you have been approved and are added to the roster, you may not use dry needles in practice in British Columbia". 


Tool Tip 

SEE FIELD: Current Registration > Additional Skills > Dry Needling Roster

If Additional Skills field is empty, you are not on the roster.


CHECK YOUR STATUS 


Full registrants using dry needles within the physical therapy scope of practice must be on the College roster. To get on the roster, registrants must submit documentation of their credentials to the College.


August 6, 2019 a short-term moratorium on accepting any new dry needling roster applications was initiated.

The College has extended the application deadline to Thursday August 29th. 


MORATORIUM


You will need documentation for application:

  • Certificate of dry needling program completion

Here is how to get a reprint copy of your iSTOP issued CGIMS Certificate, should you have misplaced your original.
