Welcome to the
Physical Therapist Assistant
web site |
The physical therapist assistant (PTA) is a skilled technical health care
worker who delivers physical therapy services under the supervision of the physical
therapist (PT). PTAs carry out patient treatments designed by the PT which include
training patients in therapeutic exercises and activities of daily living with or without
assistive devices; application of physical agents such as heat, cold, electricity and
traction; gait training; assisting in performing tests, evaluations and treatment
administered by the PT; observation and reporting of patients' response.
The Physical Therapist Assistant Program is an intensive two-year
Associate in Science degree program. The program courses
are taken sequentially and
are offered during
the daytime.
