The votes are in!  The Advisory Committee voted to proceed with changes to the Physical Therapist Assistant curriculum.  Pending approval by the college's Academic Affairs Committee, the program will change from a spring admission to a fall admission.

This means that applicants for the Fall 2010 semester will be expected to apply online between February 1st - April 1st.  (The application form will be available on this webpage by January 15th at the latest)

Applicants will be awarded points based on the number of the following general education courses they have completed - Anatomy and Physiology I and II, Medical Terminology, Freshman Comp I, College Algebra or Contemporary Math, Speech, Humanities or Fine Arts, General Psychology, and Life-Span Developmental Psychology.  Students will receive 10 points for each "A" in these courses, 7.5 points for each "B" and 5 points for each "C".

After applications to the program are submitted, students will be required to attend an interview session with the Program Director during the last two weeks of April.  For this interview, students will be required to bring the following documents:

1. Signed waiver of liability
2. Copy of valid "Healthcare Provider" CPR certification
3. Copies of immunization records documenting the following immunizations and/or titers

• Hepatitis B (this is a 3 shot series and will take 6 months to complete)
