I did 135 hours in internship. It was a clinic. It was good to watch them at work.
How many of you want to become a PT? Let me know where you are in the process - shadowing, application, acceptance???
Hello Tim, I am Bachelor in PT(India). Now want to know more about DPT in US.
I do! Focusing on undergrad classes right now. Once this whole COVID situation is over, I am going to start working on my shadowing hours.
I am a freshman in college
Hey , I have completed my BPT this year from India , and planning for DPT in USA , please guide for the affordable colleges and preferably states to apply for ? And any other advice?
Taking my pre reqs and waiting to be able to start my shadowing.
I want to become at pt because I went through a very traumatic experience, I was shot 14 times and spent over 11 months in the hospital and I am living proof that you can recover from your injuries
Damn 50 cent but like more holes🤣
Your videos get me hyped up! I'm ecstatic to get my career going. Thanks for being a good guidance for encouragement and prosperity. Gonna try to get school going.
Great video! I loved it! Thank you such much for all of your amazing and informative videos!!!
I just found your channel and this video was posted in perfect timing!! Thanks so much for all the info!
Lol must be nice! I'm 2 years late
Hey Tim, it's nice to see the channel at 13k subs! Your videos have helped guide me towards a career in PT. My undergrad is in Kinesiology so I'm currently working in an outpatient clinic as a performance trainer. I get daily collaboration with 5 therapists and it's been such an insightful experience thus far. Still not 100% sure I want to go the PT route but your videos give me so much insight into PT. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Hey Luke! That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing and for being a part of the PTProgress community!
What other toured are there???
Amazing bro
I'm a massage therapist looking to become a physical therapist by next year.
Hey Tim I’m an undergrad tryin mg to find the public schools in NJ to do pt school since the tuition is lower but all the schools pop up
How do you log your shadowing/observations hours? Specifically if you’re not in PT school yet?
I do not have any experience working in a PT office but I was a patient for a very long time so I see how everything works. As me being a patient would that count as shadowing hours? The therapists did not help for a long time because I basically knows everything since I was doing it for a while. I usually ask questions if I don’t know understand something and they explain everything to me. I can explain everything if you ask me but the only thing I was a patient instead of a worker.
Hi, do you have any recommendations on books regarding DNS and PRI treatment
Do you have one on application counseling?
Hello Tim, after my accident I had to go through physical therapy. What is the best approach to becoming a physical therapist e ? I would prefer a OJT approach if possible.
I had no idea PTs had to go through so much schooling.. I was just curious about PTs so I looked it up on UA-cam. But Holy crap... why do they have to take chemistry and math and stuff? Every PT I've ever seen just helps people stretch and stuff... that's so crazy 😅
im currently a Junior in high schools and im interning at pivot this summer to learn about the career and get hands on experience. Do you have any recommendation as to what I should start doing to prep for anything or just recommendation in general
My grandfather is close to dying right now, He suffered 3 mini strokes and the rehab is fighting to keep him for an extra week so he can recover more. (He had a fever of 105 while he was in their care suddenly, he's alright now). I want to try my hardest to give him physical therapy at home so he can enjoy the rest of the time he has with a better quality of life. It just hurts me too much to see him unable to use his arm and leg, bedridden and weak. I know he hates it too and I don't want him to give up. I will do anything to know what I have to know before he gets here by next week or the next 2 weeks.
Great video! I wanted to ask you I question if I may. Can Doctors of physical therapy administer injections?
I want to open my own private clinic one day...(I’m barely a freshman in college)but I’m planning to become a doctor of physical therapy but I also want a beauty spa where I can inject Botox and fillers. Will I be able to do this? Any help is highly appreciated!
Hello can you tell me how many years I have to study ?? I’m international student
Hi! I have a question. As an international student that graduated Education and aspires to be a Physical Therapist in USA, what do I need to do? Do I need to study again in PT school in US? Thank you for answering my question!
I’m currently a student of physiotherapy back in my country in my 4th year but I got a permanent resident to the us..hadn’t I leave would have graduated with a B.PT(bachelor of physiotherapy)
Currently in the us now,how do I go about continuing my studies what are the requirements for me
Do I need to get my transcript from my school back home
Tried doing some research found out that I need to attend a pre physical therapy school to get some requirements done but have taken every of those courses back at home
Thanks
Hey Dr. Tim Fraticelli, I am a 24 year old epileptic adult. I was at Arizona Children’s Hospital a few years ago. A pt gave me some therapy, am I able to earn a degree as a pt since, I’m currently still epileptic taking medication to control the attacks of the seizures I get. If I am, what would I need to pursue this degree?
I’m 22 I want to go into physical therapist where should start at?
Hey commenters! I have to ask something. What are the pre-requs for high school if you want to get into PT school? (More specificity for Canada 🇨🇦, but an answer for another country I’d also ok!)
Does working as an aide help you get shadow or volunteer hours?
Does your STA score in high school matter to enter the program to be a pta
Hey, mate! hopefully you can help me out here. First of all, is 30 yrs old late to become a physical therapist? a brief sum up of my current situation: I have a Law degree from Brazil, which is currently where I'm living. However, I'm about to move back to U.S next year. And just for the curiosity: I have a double citizenship, meaning that I wouldn't be considered a foreign student (making things easier). Although it concerns me if my college degree will be taking into account being from another country. Also, if my GPA would have any worth for applying for a PT program. If not, how would I be able to apply for undergrad school to get through the 4 yrs requeriments? do you know if colleges give any benefit for outside degrees or students coming from another country? sorry for all the questions, but I need to know if I'm going to pursue this path.
Hi Tom, great video! I’m from Ireland and currently doing an undergrad PT course. Are there any undergrad PT courses in the US. The way you are referring to it as “PT School” makes me think they are all graduate programmes?
Hey! Yep. US pt schools are 3 year grad programs
Hello sir, is a MS program required to pursue a doctoral degree? If I have a MS in Biochemistry and completed all of the necessary prerequisites would I be accepted or must the degree be in a more closely related field?
Can I obtain my bachelor's degree online, then go to DPT school?
Hey Dr. Tim Fraticelli, I am a 14 year old kid and I want to get into a PT program and I want to look at the job and ways to get in. Of course your video explains everything, but with covid and quarantine, is it still possible to become a PT?
It's totally still possible for you to become a PT, especially since you still have a few years until undergrad. You'll be alright
I just have 1 question. Is it realistic to attempt this as a father of 3 with a full time job and no transferable skills
Hay quá
Hi Tim! I need some guidance here. Currently i’m in college taking general pre reqs, I’m pretty sure to be a PT in Florida I need a bachelors degree and also my doctorate, what bachelors degree would you suggest?
Any major works! I did my bachelors in business and don’t regret it. Have you watched the video on choosing a major?
Iam a student at the department of physical therapy
Hey I play baseball and the school that I am attending has a major called exercise physiology. I was wondering if this will help me become a physical therapist?
Thanks
Not really - watch the video on college majors and you’ll see what I mean :)
I want to become a physical therapist and someday in the future become a pediatric physical therapist. I'm a junior in high school right now and I'm looking at colleges that have an exercise science or pre-physical therapy major. I'm also thinking about majoring in Biology if I don't want to majo in pre-physical therapy. Last year got the opportunity ti shadow a physical therapist in a hospital setting. I'm hoping to shadow again next year but at an outpatient care place.
Hey Sarah, I'm in my senior year rn and I'm freaking out lmao. I haven't done enough research and this year has been catching up to me. Is exercise physiology good for physical therapy. I heard it's good for personal training but I'm not sure if it will help with physical therapy.
@@josefernandez5329 , exercise science, biology, chemistry, pre-physical therapy, and kinsiology are all great majors to major in if you want to become a PT. I am planning on majoring in exercise science when I graduate high school next year. Exercise physiology is a great major to major in if you want to become a PT. Exercise physiology is the study of how the body functions during exercise or physical activity. You also learn about the normal functions of the body and the effects of injury and disease on the body and the body's ability to move. I'm not sure if you know the requirements and tye nunber of years it takes to get your DPT. You will do 4 years of undergrad, 20-40 hours of clinical hours before going to PT school, and 3 years of grad school. If you want to become a PTA, you would only go to grad school for 2 years or less.
@@sarahpearce1317 Thank u so much! I appreciate the response. Next year I will be playing baseball for Ave Maria University and I just decided today that I will take exercise physiology. I'm not sure yet if I want to do physical therapy or personal training just yet, but I will decide that as I study. I wish u the best of luck in ur studies. God bless u🙏
What degree do you obtain as an undergrad in order to obtain a goal to be a pt? I've gotten varied answers, some say a biology degree, some nursing...
A Exercise Science degree puts you in the position where you can either go the route of Physical Therapy, or Sports Management (Rutgers student speaking🫡)
Which bachelor’s degree is best to get into order to become a PT? Like which degree would save as much school time and provide as much knowledge for pt? Thank you
Yea someone let me know
@@jasminzepeda hi there ;)
I’m a 42 year old truck driver and I’m thinking about going into pt
Hello. I'm currently a senior in high school and on my way to college. I plan on getting a bachelors in kinesiology and wanted to ask what's the best route to end up at a PT school and so on? Thank you!
Dude same senior in hs with same goal just curious how it’s goin with that
Same! Any updates? What happened?
Do you need a bachelor’s degree before applying to a DPT program? Or you only have to finish the pre requisite courses to apply to DPT programs?
You Have to get a bachelors degree but the degree can be in anything!
@@codypisz8011 I am planning on taking athletic training as my bachelors degree then go into DPT school. Do you think that is a good idea? Maybe you can give me some on what course to take before DPT school. Thank you
Sir

What if you are thinking of doing a career change? I went to undergrad for finance and right before graduation I tore my ACL/MCL. During my PT sessions, I fell in love with what they were doing and I thought... I think this is what I would like to do, is it too late to career change? 7 years later, it has not changed and want to pursue this career path. Would it be challenging for those who want a career change?
Biggest challenge is financial - school is extremely expensive and the pay is ok.
@@PTProgressdamn just okay?
Compared to the mountain of debt to make the average pay, I’d call it just ok.
Do you need a permission to shadow a PF at a clinic or place ?
Yes, you need to ask them for permission, otherwise it’s more like stalking/trespassing :) Just give the clinic a call and ask if you can shadow any of the PTs. 👍
I want to be a pt because they make bank
All a business! BS pre-requisite
They ask for too much I can learn everything in a year on the job they just wasting 4 years of everyone’s life
This seems overwhelming to someone thats been out of school for years and has no one to help guide them.
Hope you find the video helpful then! You can also read more on the blog :)
Great video! I wanted to ask you I question if I may. Can Doctors of physical therapy administer injections?
