  completion, with Inquiries focused on CSTP
  elements and Induction Standards.

Weighing the Options

• Handout
• Considerations
• This is a PT decision, not to be influenced by
  your SPs preference. What will be best for you?
• Once a decision is made, it cannot be changed.
• The flexibility EBBIC is offering is the choice
  of CFASST vs. FACT with a clean break from Year
  One requirements.
• There will be some PTs who have completed either
  PD or Portfolio in standards that have been
  revised. As much as wed like to, we cant mix
  and match.
