If you like to help people and want to work in the medical field, our physical therapist assistant (PTA) program may be for you. The PTA program will prepare you to work, under the supervision of a physical therapist, with physically impaired persons to help reverse adverse effects of physical disability. The therapist and assistant work together to provide appropriate therapeutic intervention and communication within the health care team. You will learn to administer therapeutic and psychosocial support for individuals with musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, vascular or other physiological dysfunctions.
