Physical Therapy Assistant Schooling

Sidney Said:

i have my degree in exercise science, do i need more schooling to become a physical therapy assistant?

We Answered:

If you already have a BS in ES, go into a DPT program. IT is a 3 year program. A PTA will take 2 years and the pay is significantly less.

Adam Said:

Is anyone a physical therapy assistant or going to school to be one?

We Answered:

The classes are challenging for a two year degree. Competition varies from school to school. The PTA program closest to my house only graduated 10 last year, I think I heard around 15 this year but they can have around 30 students. Other years the program has been full. It sometimes hard to get qualified canidates.
