Distance Learning Offered For An Associate’s Degree As A Physical Therapist Assistant?
I am currently attending Tidewater Community College in Virginia. In about a year, I planned on applying for the Physical Therapy Assistant. It’s about 4 semesters long. However, none of the PTH classes are offered online and from past semesters it looks like the different courses that are required each semester seem to be only offered once per semester… So, if I take the classes in the outline that is required, my classes will be sporadic and I will absolutely have no time to continue my full-time work.
My question is,… are there any LEGIT universities which offer distance learning and Physical Therapy classes which would count towards the degree, online? I understand that towards the end of taking the required classes I will have to do clinicals, that is perfectly fine… however I am looking to see if there is a better option for me right now.
I attended ODU for one year, and TCC is much more suitable for me because it does offer many online classes, (just no PTH classes)… which is why I transferred (as a side note.)
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
And please do not mention Phoenix University… I personally know someone who was scammed through pursuing their education with this “company.”
How Can I Get A Head Start Learning Medicine?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on January 23, 2010
I’m currently a high school senior who wishes to go to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee to study pre-medicine. I’ve decided that this is what career field I want to enter. Our high school offers only 2 biology classes and no anatomy or physiology. To get involved and learn a little more, I also am the student trainer for both the football and basketball teams, and I also volunteer at a local physical therapy clinic and at the ER in our hospital. Through that, I’ve taught myself basic anatomy.
However, I just can’t learn enough fast enough. Are there any books I can look at (preferably cheap or online) that can teach some of the inner workings of the human body? Any other things I can get into that will give me a good crash course in medicine?
