Where should I list my PT license on a resume?

Give licensure its own section near the top with the state, license number and active status, including any compact privileges. Clinics confirm an active license before scheduling interviews, so this builder keeps it distinct from your degree and certifications.

Which physical therapy certifications should I include?

List ABPTS board specializations relevant to your practice — OCS for orthopedics, SCS for sports — alongside CSCS, dry needling, and IASTM or Graston. The certifications field keeps these scannable for both hiring managers and applicant tracking systems.

How do I show clinical outcomes as a PT?

Reference the standardized outcome measures you use — LEFS, DASH, NPRS, Oswestry — and quantify results like above-benchmark functional gains or reduced return-to-sport time. Outcome data is what distinguishes a strong PT resume from a list of treatments.

Should I describe my patient population?

Yes. Clinics want to know whether you handle post-surgical, sports, orthopedic or chronic-pain caseloads. The patient-population field lets you state your specialties and the conditions you treat most often, which helps match you to the right setting.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your draft is saved to local storage on your own device and the export is generated locally — nothing is ever sent to a server.

A physical therapist resume builder organised around what rehab clinics verify first: your DPT credentials, state licensure, specialty certifications, the patient population you treat, and the outcome measures you track. You fill a structured form and a clean, ATS-friendly resume builds live beside it.

How it works

The builder separates the signals a PT hiring manager screens for. Credentials captures your DPT and board specializations like OCS. A dedicated licensure field records each state, license number, active status and compact privileges. Certifications & specializations lists OCS, SCS, CSCS, dry needling and IASTM, while patient population describes your caseload — post-surgical, sports, orthopedic or chronic pain. Outcome measurement names the standardized tools you use (LEFS, DASH, NPRS, Oswestry) and your results. A repeatable clinical-experience section pairs each role with a quantified gain.

The right panel re-renders the resume as you type. Your draft auto-saves to local storage, and the Copy text and Download .txt buttons export a clean, parseable file.

Tips

Lead with your active license and DPT. Quantify outcomes using the measures clinicians recognize: above-benchmark functional gains, reduced ACL return-to-sport time, or a high plan-of-care completion rate. Match the specialization and setting named in the job advert so keyword filters surface you.

Example

A physical therapist might lead with a DPT and OCS, list an active Colorado license, note cutting ACL return-to-sport time by three weeks using criterion-based progression and force-plate testing, and reference LEFS and Oswestry tracking with above-benchmark gains. The result reads as an evidence-based, outcomes-driven clinician rather than a generic therapist.
