The Physical Therapist Assistant Program (PTA) prepares students to work under the direction of a physical therapist in a hospital, clinic, rehabilitation unit, sports-medicine facility, nursing home, extended-care facility, or pediatric facility. The program at St. Philip's College includes lecture and laboratory courses in physical therapy science and procedures and clinical education courses conducted in settings where physical therapy is provided. Serve the community by preparing our students for a career in contemporary physical therapy practice<br>while encouraging personal growth, critical thinking, ethical behavior, and lifelong learning.
