Physical Therapy Degree Requirements
Brandy Said:
Can I major in education and fulfill requirements for entry into occupational therapy school or dental school?We Answered:
I would talk to an academic advisor at your college FOR THIS REASON: They can show you in black and white what's needed. You don't have to take the word of several people. Remember, academic advisors do advising every day.Leo Said:

What type of Bachelors Degree should I go after 1st when wanting to get the Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree?We Answered:
I am a PT and for my Bachelors I chose to study Exercise and Sports Science (ESS) with an emphasis on exercise physiology. The classes required for ESS majors include chemistry, physics, biology, calculus etc...The great thing is that most of these classes are also prerequisites for professional schools of medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, pharmacy and so on.
For me personally I just could not imagine having to get a job doing lab work in biology, chemistry or physics had my PT plans not have worked out.
If you are interested in sports and orthopedics, the ESS major allows you to springboard into things like athletic training and the part that interested me, the training of elite, Olympic level athletes. That sounds way more fun to me than the sciences, especially on an employment basis.
As far as the DPT thing goes. Basically the Master's programs of PT have added an extra year as well as some research and have transitioned to DPT. When its time to apply having a good fall-back Bachelors is highly recommended and takes the pressure off of you if it takes you a couple of tries to get accepted.
Best of luck!!

How can a physical therapist get a job working with mentally handicapped individuals?We Answered:
PTs work with all kinds of disabilities and diagnosis. PT definately work with individuals that cognitive deficits and motor impairments. They work in group homes, day haps, etc. With that said, you need to get a PT or OT degree to work as PT or OT. But if you want experience with this type of population, get a job as an aide, group home worker in one of these places. They are always in need of help. It is a minimum wage job but a great way to gain experience. You only need a high school degree.www.apta.org
