Physical Therapist Assistant
A.A.S. Degree (Career) Carroll Community College Degree
Mid-Maryland Allied Healthcare Education Consortium
The physical therapist assistant is a dynamic healthcare professional working
under the supervision of a physical therapist. The PTA can work with children,
athletes, older adults, or in a setting that provides a variety of experiences.
The physical therapist assistant works according to the scope of practice defined
by the licensing board in the state in which they practice. In all settings, the
physical therapist assistant participates in programs and procedures to maximize
each person’s potential. PTA’s spend most of their time one-on-one with their
patients and their families working to achieve maximum independence. The
physical therapist assistant utilizes a wide variety of techniques to address their
patient’s needs and achieve their patient’s goals.
This is a competitive admissions program. See Counseling & Advising and/or
Carroll Community College’s website for more information. This program is part of
the Mid-Maryland Allied Healthcare Education Consortium. As such, FCC students
will pay in-county tuition even after transferring to Carroll Community College,
and may receive special consideration in the competitive admissions process.
