Expertise
I am PTA. I can answer questions for people interested in becoming a Physical Therapist Assistant. I`m happy to discuss questions about the education required, licensure, different areas of the field, and duties that the PTA performs. I can also help with questions about the differences between PTs and PTAs roles and education. In a more general way, I can answer questions about the differences between the PT field in comparison with the Athletic Trainer field and the Occupational Therapy field.
Experience
I have been a PTA for 6 years, and was a tech for 4 years before that. I work in an out-patient orthopedic setting, but am familiar with other settings in general.
Organizations
American Physical Therapy Association.
Orthopedic Section of APTA.
