In the case of Michigan Board of Physical Therapy , You will first apply for Michigan Licensure & on receipt of your application they will give you an ID
Later , you apply(TYPE ' icdeval ' IN GOOGLE search (ICD)for credentials evaluation , for yourMichigan License.

Your BPT is enough.However, you will provide honest details , & fill in
the application ,with whatever details sought therein.

TO: All Interested Parties
FROM: Michigan Board of Physical Therapy
SUBJECT: New Evaluation Requirement for Foreign-Educated Applicants
DATE: July 1, 2009
The Michigan Board of Physical Therapy adopted new Administrative Rules on May 15,
2009. Administrative Rule 338.7107(b) changes the licensure requirements for
applicants who have not graduated from a physical therapy education program that is
accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education
(CAPTE).
Effective September 1, 2009, an applicant for a Michigan Physical Therapist license
who did not graduate from a CAPTE-accredited physical therapy school must have their
education evaluated using the Foreign Credentialing Commission on Physical Therapy
(FCCPT) course work evaluation tool.
This change in educational review requirements will apply to any individual whose
application for a Michigan Physical Therapist license is received by the Board on or
after September 1, 2009.
Evaluations using the FCCPT course work evaluation tool may be completed with the
same companies that the Michigan Board currently utilizes for credential reviews.
Those companies are:
