Physical Therapist Assistant - Chattanooga State Technical Community College

Physical Therapist Assistant from Chattanooga State Technical Community College is a Campus Associate Physical Therapy degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. A Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) is a health care worker who works under the supervision of a physical therapist (PT). The PTA Program curriculum goal is to provide a quality comprehensive course of study(didactic and clinical) for students who wish to provide patient/client care in physical therapy as a PTA. The program is 4 semesters in length once a student is accepted into the program. Typically, students take longer to complete the program because they spend 1 - 2 semesters in support courses such as Anatomy and Physiology, or Physics. Taking these courses early does give the applicant an advantage and helps to decrease the academic load in the PTA program. Students usually prefer this arrangement because it tends to result in more successful program completion. Program standards are in place to assure that students have the potential to safely and competently perform as entry-level practitioners. Upon completion of the physical therapist assistant program, the student is eligible to take the state licensing examination. View more details on Chattanooga State Community College .
