Choosing A Physical Therapist Assistant Program From Burlington
The subject matter does not change by location: kinesiology, therapeutic exercise, physical agents and modalities, and supervised clinical education. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
