[Purpose] The current situation of infection control education in educational institutions for physical therapists was investigated, and the educational contents of universities and colleges were compared. [Participants and Methods] An anonymous self-administered mailed questionnaire was sent to 263 educational institutions for physical therapists. The questionnaire consisted of 45 items concerning infection control education regarding education implementation and educational methods. [Results] The response rate was 30.8%. The highest rate of educational implementation was “standard precautions,” which accounted for 75.8%. Universities had implemented 9 items in education significantly more than colleges, including the hand-washing method by rubbing, but, in both cases, the education implementation rate was low at 40% or less. [Conclusion] The implementation rates of general contents for infection control were high, while many educational institutions had low educational implementation rates for detailed contents in which physical therapists were less likely to be involved.
