Exam outline and official sources
American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS), within the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) · Mapped from the workbook label “Geriatric Specialist Certification (GCS)” to ABPTS’s specialist certification examination in geriatric physical therapy; this is not a separate alias examination. Blueprint checked against the 2026 Fall/2027 Spring ABPTS Candidate Guide and the current ABPTS Geriatrics examination-outline page on 2026-10-13. The guide identifies its edition, but no separate effective date for the geriatric outline is stated. The public Description of Specialty Practice page says the 2020 DSP reflects the 2017–2020 revalidation.
