The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) pathway is designed to prepare individuals to perform interventions under the supervision of physical therapists (PTs) in an ethical, legal, safe, and effective manner. The individuals enhance the delivery of physical therapy services by providing delegated interventions, assisting the PT with data collection, communicating with other members of the health-care delivery team, interacting with members of the patient’s family and caregivers, and working cooperatively with other health care providers.
Provided below is a prior year version of this pathway. While we suggest you utilize the current year version, we have guidelines on how you can use the prior year version for this semester, and then switch to the current year next semester.
