Physical Therapist Assistant
A.A.S. Degree (Career)
Mid-Maryland Allied Healthcare Education Consortium
Carroll Community College Degree
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.
