In practical terms, it is where a student first helps someone walk again after a fracture or breathe easier after surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Is_BPT_Under_the_New_NCAHP_Curriculum\"><\/span><b>How Long Is BPT Under the New NCAHP Curriculum?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everyone is aware that the course changed recently.
