The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) associate degree program
prepares students to help a variety of people in a variety of
settings. PTAs assist people of all ages, with various movement
disorders, to become independent in their day-to-day functions.
Physical therapy is a hands-on career, which literally involves
working to change people's lives for the better. Because every
client has a unique set of circumstances, PTAs help to carry out
a unique treatment plan for each one, under the direction and
supervision of a physical therapist.
As a PTA, graduates can work in traditional medical environments
or in settings where people need to learn new ways to prevent
injury or to promote health, wellness, and fitness. In the field,
the PTA is supervised by a licensed physical therapist (PT). Most

under the direction of a PT. In the associate degree program, the
student learns to act as part of the rehabilitation team,
collecting data needed for the patient's initial evaluation,
carrying out selected physical therapy interventions outlined in
the PT treatment plans, using technology to help people overcome
disabilities, and designing activities to help people reach their
goals.
