In this article (and video), you'll learn the job duties, education requirements (length of education programs and physical therapy assistant training), likes and dislikes, and the detailed salary information for physical therapist assistants.

Thank you for posting that video. I, kindly, want to know what is the eligibility criteria for international students -who have a bachelor degree in physical therapy outside US- to work as a physical therapy assistant? In another words, being a an international physical therapist gives you any credit to work at least as a PTA in the USA?
@RegisteredNurseRN
@RegisteredNurseRN 8 жыл бұрын
+paul boss Thanks for your question, Paul. Yes, international PTs can work in the US. You may be required to pass the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE) and apply for a license (among other requirements). The regulating body in the US is the "The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy" and they would be able to best answer your question about the specific requirements. Here is their contact information: www.fsbpt.org/ContactUs.aspx I wish you the best! -Ben

I am confused on the education requirements. I am about to graduate high school and would like to pursue this career. What Associate's Degree do i need exactly? Medical Assistant associate's? And may i take these online?
@BklynWho
@BklynWho 8 жыл бұрын
You will get an Associate's in Physical Therapist Assistant. That's the name of the degree. You can't possibly complete this at home, online because you need to learn to use the machines, to stretch and palpate and you can't learn those remotely. It's a very smart move for a high school grad. Your education cost is low, if you go to a Community college and you can make a decent salary right after graduation. :) Good luck.

+Arise Toxic Thanks for your comment! If you're unsure of what to do next, you might want to contact a local healthcare facility that hires physical therapy assistants and ask them about their exact requirements to be hired. They may be able to push you in the right direction! I wish you the very best of luck! -Ben

+Thủy Trúc Lê Thị Yes, there are programs available to allow you to get a bachelor's degree. Some programs are made for people who already have a A.A.S. to earn a bachelors. If you do a google search you can find some programs where you live. Best of luck!
