American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), governed by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS) · 2026 Fall/2027 Spring ABPTS Candidate Guide, Geriatrics Addendum, and current public APTA Geriatrics examination outline, reviewed 2026-10-13. APTA states that examination content reflects the 2020 Description of Specialty Practice (DSP), informed by the 2017–2020 revalidation; the public outline does not state a separate effective date. Workbook label “Geriatric Clinical Specialist (GCS)” maps to the official Specialist Certification Examination in Geriatric Physical Therapy and the board-certified clinical specialist in geriatric physical therapy; it is not a separate current examination.
