Due to unforeseen circumstances, the College has made the difficult decision to discontinue the program with the graduating class of 2024. This decision was not made lightly, and the College understands the impact it may have on our students.
The College is currently working with our in-program students to assist them in transferring to other programs to continue their education seamlessly.
If you have already been accepted for the upcoming year, please contact advisor, Kyle Portell, to explore other healthcare programs at 新彩开奖 that may align with your interests and career aspirations.
What is a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)?
Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) work as members of a health care team to provide physical therapy services under the direction and supervision of a Physical Therapist (PT). The PT is responsible for the patient evaluation and development of a plan of care to help a patient reduce pain, improve his new ability to move, restore function, and reduce or prevent disability. PTAs assist the PTs in providing the treatments to help the patients achieve their goals. These treatments may include exercise instruction and appropriate progression, data collection such as heart rate and blood pressure to ensure proper response to exercise, use of physical and electrical modalities, and functional training/retraining, such as rolling, walking, and balance improvement.
