The Physical Therapy Aide and Administration Specialist program is the ideal opportunity for someone to gain entry into the field and assist members of the physical therapy team.

Other duties include preparing hot and cold packs, sanitizing equipment and assisting in patient intake. Often aides are responsible for documenting patients responses during exercise.
