NE PT Juris study guide
NE PT Juris · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Nebraska Jurisprudence Assessment Module (NE JAM) is the online jurisprudence examination that Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services, acting on a recommendation by the Board of Physical Therapy, adopted effective July 1, 2025. It replaces the older NE LAW format, and the department notes that candidates may receive scheduling communications from the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy during the transition. The assessment is aimed at people seeking Nebraska licensure as a physical therapist or certification as a physical therapist assistant, including reinstatement applicants and foreign-trained physical therapists, who must demonstrate knowledge of the state laws and regulations that govern practice. Content is drawn from the Nebraska statutes and regulations identified in the Study Guide - Nebraska Law Examination Content Outline, which maps each tested category to a specific statute or regulation section. The department states plainly that anything not listed in the Study Guide will not appear on the examination, so the Study Guide is the single most efficient planning document. To prepare, download the Candidate Information Booklet and the Study Guide first, then work through the cited statute and regulation sections in the order the outline presents them, cross-checking against Title 172 NAC 137, the Uniform Credentialing Act, and related materials linked in the Regulations and Statutes box. Topics on this exam: Nebraska Physical Therapy Statutes and Regulations (per NE JAM Study Guide content outline). The NE PT Juris study guide has 1 section and about 421 words.
