Physical Therapy Education
Phillip Said:
I got a question about being paid in continuing education by employer for physical therapy??We Answered:
With my employer, it has to be related to your field (so PT would count), but you have to also fullfill the requirements of working 40 hours a week. Since most PT programs are in full-time day format, you would not be able to complete this if you had this stipulation (I think there are only 5 programs that offer in in weekend or evening format).However, if you became a PT with an MPT degree, you could certainly find a part-time transitional program to the DPT degree...that's what I did.
Darren Said:
what are my options if i become a radiologist tech, and want to go on to further education in physical therapyWe Answered:
Physical therapy programs are generally highly structured and there is usually no deviation from the schedule...you enter the program the first year and graduate with the same people you've been going to school with during the program. For example, we went to class from 8 until 4 or 5 everyday and were in the same class with the same people until we all graduated. We had no influence on the schedule...it was determined for us. It pretty much takes a full time committment to enter the professional phase of PT school. No weekend classes...sorryA PTA program, however, MIGHT be a little less structured, but of course is only an associates degree.
Anthony Said:
question about physical therapy education?We Answered:
The graduate phase is usually 3 years. This is usually preceeded by 3-4 years of undergraduate work and usually requires a bachelor's degree prior to the graduate phase. In your undergraduate years, you must complete your general education and major credits (in a major of your choice) as well as the prerequisite courses. This usually involves at least a year each of general biology, chemistry, and physics. Math, psych and anatomy and physiology are also usually required.In total, most PT programs are designed to result in about 6-7 years of college education.
Renee Said:
Physical Therapy education courses?We Answered:
you do not need an AAS to become a PT. At the current time you can get an MPT or a DPT. There are only a handful of programs in the US that still offer a MPT. They are all in the process of converting to a DPT. So if you are not in an MPT program now, you will wind up getting a DPT. The best source of information is the national assoc of PTwww. apta.org.
Best wishes

Can you describe what you do in a physical education major?We Answered:
Physical education is completely different from physical therapy.They are two totally separate degrees.
Phys. Ed is an education degree which requires certification to teach it. This takes a bachelors degree and continuous renewal every few years.
Physical Therapy is a type of Medical degree which requires a bachelor's degree in the sciences and a master/doctoral combo degree with residencies and rotations. This takes from 4-8 years to acheive as a student.
Alexander Said:
What kind of education do you need to get into physical therapy?We Answered:
In the US, you need either a master's or doctorate level degree. There is really no difference in hiring practices between those with MS or DPT, and the pay is the same. However, the DPT is emphasizing an increased practice base with more emphasis on health screening and research.
