Greetings and welcome to PCC's Physical Therapist Assistant
Program Web site!
Our
program was established in May of 1994. Our first class
of students graduated in May 1996 and since then, we have
graduated more than 150 students.
On
April of 2002, we received reaccredidation from the Commission
on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) of
the American Physical Therapy Association.
Our
program has maintained consistently above average state
and national passing rate for the licensure examinations
and our graduates are currently employed in the field, earning
excellent wages.
We
are fortunate to have a very experienced faculty and a great
variety of clinical sites in which to place our students
for clinical education experiences.
If
you are a person who:
- Cares
about people and want to make an impact in another person's
life
- Enjoys
studying human anatomy and human movements and wants to learn
how to exercise effectively
- Is
interested in attending a program with caring, dedicated,
and knowledgeable teachers in a state-of-the-art building,
with a laboratory that simulates a real PT clinic...then
our PTA Program here at PCC might just be the program
that you are searching for!
If
you are interested in pursuing a very rewarding and challenging
career, consider joining us today! On behalf of the faculty,
staff and students of the PTA Program, we welcome you to
our program and look forward to your entry into the exciting
and challenging career of Physical therapy.
