February 2026 Regulatory Hour: Conflict of Interest - What is it and why is it important?

Conflict of interest is a foundational concept in professional regulation, yet it can be challenging to identify, manage, and prevent in board and committee work. For physical therapy boards, real, potential, or perceived conflicts can undermine public trust, compromise decision-making, and create legal or ethical risks if left unaddressed. This webinar provided physical therapy board regulators with a clear, practical understanding of conflict of interest and its relevance to licensure, discipline, policymaking, and governance. Participants examined common sources of conflict in regulatory settings, including professional relationships, dual roles, and the distinction between actual and perceived conflicts.
