How Important Are Math Skills In A Physical Therapy Assistants Career?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on December 31, 2009
As someone who teaches business math and has students in every single program, including medical-related, I can honestly say that math is used in virtually everything.
Will you use math when assisting patients with their PT exercises, no? But you’ll have to write a series of progress reports on such things as by what percent they improve and over how long a period of time.
You may also have to provide some stats on the number of patients you’ve handled, breaking them down into things like gender, age, income level, injury types, etc.
And if you begin to rise up the ladder and actually supervise others, you’ll have a number of performance ratios to do when it comes to job evals.
And if you have patients who are taking meds, you’ll have to know how various dosage levels can effect their performance and progress.
