Physical Therapy Aide Certification

Arthur Said:

What is the major difference between a radiography aide and a radiographer?

We Answered:

I've never seen a program like Berks. I don't know what you would be able to do after that. I do know that you hospitals require you to be a registered radiologic technologist to work for them, and you would get that at Montgomery Comm College. I would contact Mae Endy at Berks and ask what you would be qualified to do after finishing their program. In my experience, an aide would just get patients changed for exams, run films, stuff like that - not actually doing x-rays.

What is the difference between a Physical therapy tech and assistant other than a license?

We Answered:

An Assistant will make more money.

Good luck with your career in rehab. Unless you have excellent physics grades and SAT scores getting into a PT program will be difficult.

How about Certified Personal Training? Can make good money in the right place.

Gertrude Said:

Which of these careers would you recommend and why?

We Answered:

This truly depends on what you want and how much potential salary you want to earn. Pharmacy technicians make on average $13-15/hr but that is not going to mean a thing if there are no pharmacies hiring in your area. Also, do you want round the clock hours, or an 8-5 M-F job?

I would research jobs availability in your area to make the best decision for yourself. You may want to take into account your future goals, earning potential in each field, and time to complete each program. Good luck!
