There is a lot of interest in physical therapy as a health care career choice. For a lot of folks though, the time needed to complete a graduate degree just is not feasible. The folks at South University have got you covered.
Here is what they have to say about their Physical Therapists Assistant AS degree program:
“If you’re interested in physical therapy but aren’t ready for grad school, a career as a physical therapist assistant may be of interest. In South University’s Associate of Science (AS) in Physical Therapist Assisting (PTA) degree program, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills needed to embark on this rewarding career.
Physical therapist assistants perform components of physical therapy procedures and related tasks selected by a supervising physical therapist. These workers assist physical therapists in providing services that help improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or disease. Patients include accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions such as lower-back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries, and cerebral palsy.
The PTA program offers a curriculum that is well rounded in all fundamental concepts and theories as they apply to physical therapy modalities and rehabilitation procedures.”
These folks have been in business a long time. To help you in your decision, you can get free information here.
