Physical Therapist Assistant
Physical therapist assistants (PTAs) are licensed healthcare providers who assist in delivering high-quality physical therapy services under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist (PT). A combination of clinical practicum rotations and other learning experiences, including the use of technology and online instructional enhancements, lectures, discussions, small group activities, and guided laboratory practice, prepares graduates to be employed in a variety of clinical settings. This multidimensional educational approach fosters the development of individual responsibility and professional behaviors leading to successful lifelong learning.
