PT Board Settles Lawsuit Challenging Bar on Exams for Filipinos and Other Nationalities
The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy will not appeal a court decision throwing out its policy of barring Filipinos, Indians, Egyptians and Pakistanis from taking the National Physical Therapy Exam. The American Association for International Healthcare Recruitment successfully sued in Georgia over the policy and FSBPT was in the middle of appealing their loss in that case. The exact terms of the settlement have not been released, but it is expected that the two organizations will reach an agreement on an approach going forward regarding preserving the integrity of the exams in the four countries in question.

IMMIGRANT ELIGIBILITY FOR HEALTH CARE BECOMES ISSUE IN VERMONT DEBATE
From the American Health Lawyers Association:
National Journal (5/3, Subscription Publication) reports on the gathering of "more than 2,000 people" Sunday at the Vermont Statehouse "to protest an amendment to the universal healthcare bill that would exclude undocumented workers. Vermont is on a fast track to becoming the first state to have a single-payer healthcare system." However, "activist groups and some lawmakers are outraged by a last-minute amendment added to the Senate bill that would exclude undocumented workers from receiving healthcare under the single-payer system."
