Interested in a career in Physical Therapy? For those students who might be potentially interested in a career in Physical Therapy, but not yet sure  - we will be offering a new course starting in the Spring Semester of 2013.

The course is called "Career Exploration in Physical Therapy" and it is designed for those persons interested in exploring a possible career path in the field. It examines various physical therapy careers including required educational preparation, benefits, roles, responsibilities, and opportunities in the field. Physical therapy practice settings, treatments, patient populations and specialty areas of practice are explored. It is a one credit class, to help the interested student decide if the world of physical therapy might be the right field for her/him. It is NOT a required course for the PTA Program, and does not give any extra credit toward admission to the program, though it might help you decide if the program is right for you, and what is required of you in the program, and what is required for admission and successful completion. For any questions contact the Allied Health and Nursing counselors at X7677 or X4191, or the program director at X7881.
