+Hey Huda Thanks so much for your comment. That's awesome you're looking to get certified for PTA. I hope you have a blessed and fulfilling career with it!
Thank y'all for the video, I start my PTA associates degree program soon and this helped a lot! I noticed Texas is in first! I'm going to be completing my degree in Dallas so I can't wait to get started!
+DropThaBassTX You're so welcome! I wish you the best in the PTA program. It is a great profession and that is awesome you will be completing your degree in Dallas. Best wishes! -Ben
Thank you for doing this. I'm extremely interested in this field. I'm a visually impaired person with correct able low mission. This was recommended to me through DSB
Thank you for posting that video. I, kindly, want to know what is the eligibility criteria for international students -who have a bachelor degree in physical therapy outside US- to work as a physical therapy assistant? In another words, being a an international physical therapist gives you any credit to work at least as a PTA in the USA?
+paul boss Thanks for your question, Paul. Yes, international PTs can work in the US. You may be required to pass the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE) and apply for a license (among other requirements). The regulating body in the US is the "The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy" and they would be able to best answer your question about the specific requirements. Here is their contact information: www.fsbpt.org/ContactUs.aspx I wish you the best! -Ben
Your video is really interesting and helpful! But I still confused about the difference between PTA and OTA. Can you give me a detailed explanation for this? Thanks a lot!
+Thủy Trúc Lê Thị I actually have a video on OTA and I talk about the job overview there (ua-cam.com/video/trvCfinprNw/v-deo.html) This should help you compare the two occupations. Hope that helps! (-Ben)
+RegisteredNurseRN If I want to get a bachelor's degree after getting A.A.S of PTA, would it be possible? I just want to move to a higher level to get a better job in the future!
+Thủy Trúc Lê Thị Yes, there are programs available to allow you to get a bachelor's degree. Some programs are made for people who already have a A.A.S. to earn a bachelors. If you do a google search you can find some programs where you live. Best of luck!
+Arise Toxic Thanks for your comment! If you're unsure of what to do next, you might want to contact a local healthcare facility that hires physical therapy assistants and ask them about their exact requirements to be hired. They may be able to push you in the right direction! I wish you the very best of luck! -Ben
Hyy... ✨✨ Can u plzz tell that,a therapist assistant can do a degree after completing diploma and become a *physiotherapist*....plzz tell I am very confused about that....
I am confused on the education requirements. I am about to graduate high school and would like to pursue this career. What Associate's Degree do i need exactly? Medical Assistant associate's? And may i take these online?
You will get an Associate's in Physical Therapist Assistant. That's the name of the degree. You can't possibly complete this at home, online because you need to learn to use the machines, to stretch and palpate and you can't learn those remotely. It's a very smart move for a high school grad. Your education cost is low, if you go to a Community college and you can make a decent salary right after graduation. :) Good luck.

Sorry this is the only video I watched
+Kara Moriyama That's okay! No problem at all. Thanks again.
