Careers: Pharmacy Or Physical Therapy?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 21, 2010
I’m a Caribbean student and I did 7 subjects in High School. I took Chemistry, Biology, Math, Information Technology, Spanish, French and English.
I recently advanced my studies in Biology and Chemistry along with Communication Studies. This September I will be doing unit 2 in advanced Biology and Chemistry and I will be picking up Sociology.
Since I didn’t do any Physics in high school or at the advance level, is it possible for me to study either Physical Therapy or Pharmacy in college? I’m planning to study in the US. So was I supposed to have done Physics in high school OR can physics be done in college from scratch?

Are There Any Careers In The Medical Field That Do Not Require Injections/taking Blood Samples?
I am VERY interested in pursuing a career in the medical field due the the fact that it is high demand, helping people, and the money is good, however I have a fear of blood. Is there anyway to bypass that aspect of the medical field? Example -physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc. I would like to know what other fields are available that are not specifically nursing. I’m just researching all of my options so any information is useful. I currently hold a BA in Psychology but there are limitations to how far I can go in that field and I would like to expand my education and growth opportunites.
Which Are Chiropractic Or Physical Therapy Careers More Enjoyable?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on January 24, 2010
PT and Chiro are different professions in many ways. PT will without question offer higher job security the first 2-3 years. This is due to the fact that many healthcare facilities employ PT and very few directly hire chiropractors. The Chiro income potential is much greater than PT. You must market yourself and establish a client base to have good success in chiro. This requires you to be a pretty good marketer and willing to extend yourself beyond regular office hours. But beyond the financial aspect enjoyability will be based on your likes and dislike. I am a nurse and previously considered both opportunities. I made my decision after shadowing each opportunity. Good Luck!

Posted by admin in Careers in PT on January 23, 2010
I’m a college sophmore interested in one of these two fields, but I’m not sure which one I want to go into. Can anyone tell me some information about what it’s like to be in these careers, from experience please, or give me hints about how I could find out more about them. Would someone in a hospital setting allow me to ask them some questions maybe or shadow them for a day? Also, what is the level of dealing with wounds/injuries in these two fields. Thanks
