Physical Therapy Jobs In New York

Dolores Said:

How to search for jobs in other states?

We Answered:

Start with the APTA website at www.apta.org and view the job bank. Just be wary that a lot of head hunters and staffing agencies advertise on those sites. Also view ads at the back of PT Today and Advance for PTs.

If you plan to move to Virginia right after graduation, apply to have your licensing test results sent to virginia so you can claim your license there. Otherwise, you'll have to apply for reciprocity and that can take a lot of time. Most places won't even give you an interview until they know you are eligible for a license in that state.

You need to check and see if the Bachelor's Degree from your facility is acceptable to take boards. A Master's Degree is currently required to become licenced as a PT.

Charlene Said:

Is anyone out there a physical therapist? I'm a junior in HS considering becoming one, but I have questions...?

We Answered:

I am a PT who loves what I do. As a PT you will live comfortably but not rich. Some PT do chose to own their own practice but many of us would perfer not to. There is a high demand for PT despite the economy.

PT and PTA need to be able to stand for extended time, bend, stoop and kneel. In today's age there is many places with no lift policies. I have worked with PTs who are in a wheelchair, legally blind, tbi. I currently work with a PTA who has MS.

PT is a graduate degree. Currently 98 percent of the programs are DPT. There are less than 10 that are MPT. These programs are all in the process of converting. to the DPT. In NYS, all programs are DPT.
