Physical therapist technicians and chiropractic assistants help doctors in the treatment and diagnosis of people with medical conditions and functionally-limiting injuries. This is a rigorous academic course that requires a high level of independent study.
Qualified students will participate in job shadowing and/or internships in physical therapy offices or clinics. Shadowing and/or interning require reliable transportation at the sole responsibility of the student. Flexible hours may be required depending upon the availability of clinical sites.
Note: Students will be randomly drug tested.
