Physical Therapist Assistant Associate Degree Program - Gateway technical college

( ♪♪ ) (Jimaleen - Graduate:) The Physical Therapist Assistant program is phenomenal. You get such a solid education in the two-year associate program, and you just walk away with those life-learning skills. You go out knowing and feeling confident that you're going to have those skills to be the best PTA possible. (Jeff - Instructor:) PTA's work under the supervision of Physical Therapists in a variety of settings -- in hospitals, outpatient clinics, school systems, nursing homes, rehab centers, etc. People who enjoy interpersonal contact with others, who can communicate well, who can work well, who can adapt to a lot of different personalities where they're working, really do well with this. If you graduate from an accredited program, which we are, and pass the licensing exam, you can pretty much go anywhere in the country and work at that point. (Jimaleen:) And this is a field that's going to continue to grow. I feel like it's just expanding in so many different areas, and I'm very proud of that. ( ♪♪ )
