Crefito 14

What Crefito 14 does

CREFITO-14 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 14ª Região) is the official regional regulatory council for physiotherapy and occupational therapy professionals in the State of Piauí, Brazil, operating under federal oversight as part of the national Sistema COFFITO/CREFITOs. It holds exclusive statutory authority over professional registration, fiscalization, ethical enforcement, and credential issuance for individual physiotherapists and occupational therapists as well as clinics and companies operating in these fields within the jurisdiction. The council is led by President Dr. Ângelo Vasconcelos, operates with approximately 7 staff, and is headquartered in Teresina.

The council's technology stack centers on the Implanta-branded online services portal (crefito-14.implanta.net.br), which provides self-serve access to professional registration, data updates, a transparency portal, a public professional directory, a complaints submission system, and a public bidding/licitações platform. Complementary institutional programs include the CREFITO-14 Estudante student engagement initiative, the Programa de Benefícios (a discount partnership program spanning pharmacies, hotels, dental, education, fitness, aesthetics, and miscellaneous service providers), a virtual library, and technical chambers and commissions covering specialties such as oncology, sleep disorders, work ergonomics, and women's health. Physical service is delivered through four offices: the Teresina headquarters and sub-offices in Picos, Bom Jesus, and Parnaíba.

CREFITO-14 monetizes its regulatory mandate through three revenue streams: recurring annual professional fees (anuidades) charged to registered physiotherapists and occupational therapists; one-time business registration fees for clinics and companies; and administrative service fees for first registrations, transfers, secondary registrations, temporary authorizations, and document issuance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed on the website. Distribution is direct-to-professional via the online portal and physical offices, with supporting top-of-funnel engagement through Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, website news, and a podcast/videocast ('Bate-Papo CREFITO-14'). Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Others

• Conselho Federal de Odontologia (CFO): Brazilian federal council for dentistry, structured identically to COFFITO/CREFITO-14. Useful comparable for benchmarking regulatory council revenue mix, fee structures, and digital service models.
• Conselho Federal de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional (COFFITO): The federal-level parent of all CREFITOs, including CREFITO-14. Sets national regulation, professional identity standards, and policy for the regional councils; relevant as the apex governance body rather than a direct operating peer.
• World Physiotherapy: International federation for physiotherapy (formerly WCPT) covering >120 country members. Comparable as the global umbrella body above CREFITO-14's parent COFFITO in the professional governance hierarchy.
• Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM): Brazilian federal council for physicians, the parallel statutory body to COFFITO for the medical profession. Operates with the same conselho federal/conselho regional hierarchy and similar revenue model (anuidades + business licensing).

Direct peers

• CREFITO-2 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 2ª Região): São Paulo regional PT/OT council under the same Sistema COFFITO/CREFITOs. Operates the identical model of mandatory registration, anuidades, online portal (Implanta), and regional offices for the country's largest physiotherapy market.

• CREFITO-1 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 1ª Região): The Rio de Janeiro–based regional PT/OT council, operating under the same Sistema COFFITO/CREFITOs with identical statutory functions (registration, fiscalization, anuidades, technical chambers). Most directly comparable peer given shared mandate, funding model, and regulatory scope.
• CREFITO-3 (Conselho Regional de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional da 3ª Região): Minas Gerais/Espírito Santo regional council, sister entity under COFFITO with the same statutory authority, revenue mix, and online portal infrastructure as CREFITO-14.

Broad incumbents

• American Physical Therapy Association (APTA): The U.S. national professional association for physical therapists. Functions as a broader-scale analogue to CREFITO-14 in advocacy, professional development, and standards-setting, though voluntary-membership rather than statutory registration.
