Physical Therapist Assistant
A.A.S. Degree (Career) Carroll Community College Degree

The Physical Therapist Assistant is a skilled technical health care provider who
works within a physical therapy service supervised by a physical therapist. With
the direction and supervision of a physical therapist, the physical therapist
assistant performs selected physical therapy procedures and related tasks. The
extent to which the physical therapist assistant will participate in the following
activities will be dependent upon the employment setting and individual patient:
functioning as a participating team member who contributes to total patient care;
performing selected treatment procedures in accordance with planned programs;
assisting the physical therapist in carrying out complex procedures and programs;
and observing, recording and reporting to the supervisor conditions, reactions
and responses related to assigned duties.
A minimum grade of C is required in all pre-clinical courses. Admission to the
program is required before taking PTA courses. See the Carroll Community College
catalog for the program admission requirements. Students intending to pursue
bachelor’s or master’s study should take ENGL-102 for the Arts and Humanities or
English Literature choice course. Certain Physical Therapist Assistant courses may
not be transferable.
All General Education requirements must be completed prior to or concurrently
with PTA-231. In recognition of the intensity of the program requirements, most
PTA students choose to complete all non-PTA coursework prior to the beginning
of the program. For information regarding the program or program requirements
or if you have extensive education or experience, please contact the Program
Director.
