Welcome to our new attempt at keeping you updated about events, news, and updates about the Lorain County Community College Physical Therapist Assistant Program!

First off, we'll try not to post anything too trivial here. That means it may not be updated all the time but only as really appropriate.

As for recent news:
We'd like to thank EVERYONE associated with the Program - students, graduates, faculty, clinical instructors, employers, advisory committee members, clinical sites, the ENTIRE college community and everyone else involved with our reaccreditation process.
The Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) of the American Physical Therapy Association voted to reaffirm accreditation to the program for a 10 year period.
Thanks to all of you!

After all of that, Program Director John Myers himself underwent training to become a team-leader and on-site evaluator for CAPTE accreditation site visits! Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education Jim Keske, after becoming a Certified Clinical Instructor, took additional training to becoming a Credentialed Clinical Trainer so that he can now train people to become Certified CI's.
