1 Physical Therapist Assistant Program Dear Applicant: Thank you for your interest in the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Program. This packet includes information on the profession, admission requirements and the PTA curriculum. Physical Therapy is the care provided by or under the supervision of a Physical Therapist (PT) to individuals in pain or to those with impaired mobility following disease, illness, injury, or surgery. Physical Therapy clinicians work with individuals of all ages including, but not limited to, those who have suffered stroke, head injury, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson s disease, amputation, spinal cord injury, knee surgery, or shoulder injury. A PTA earns an associate s degree in applied science, holds a state license to practice and works under the supervision of a PT. PTAs perform the majority of direct patient care visits once the PT has evaluated the patient and established the treatment plan. They are employed in many practice settings including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, home health agencies, outpatient clinics, sports medicine clinics, private practice, industry, and school systems. Employment opportunities for PTAs are growing due to the rising costs of healthcare, an increase in the number of elderly, and an increase in the number of sports injuries among adolescents. TCC s PTA program is offered on a full-time basis during daytime hours, and it is five semesters in length. The first semester is a prerequisite, preadmission semester consisting entirely of general education courses and is taken before admission into the program. There are two additional general education classes that can be taken in the normal curricular sequence or they can be taken prior to admission. Applicants are awarded points based on the grades they receive in all general education classes, the number of observation hours they complete, and recommendations. Candidates with the highest number of points are accepted into the technical portion of the program. Since positions in the program are limited, it is recommended that applicants apply early, complete all prerequisite, preadmission general education classes, consider taking the two additional general education classes not listed in semester one and complete the maximum number of observation hours. Applicants planning to transfer general education classes from other institutions should have official transcripts sent directly to: Office of the College Registrar, Tidewater Community College, P.O. Box 9000, Norfolk, VA Additionally, applicants transferring in general education credits must submit an Evaluation of Previous Educational Experiences form available on-line at This form gives the Office of the College Registrar permission to evaluate your transcripts and award transfer credit. You can verify that TCC has received your transcripts by calling (757) or ing: CentralRecords@tcc.edu.

A two-step PPD (tuberculin skin test) is required as well as immunization records. All program students must be certified in CPR (either healthcare provider or health care professional level) prior to entering the program and must remain current throughout the program. A one-step PPD (tuberculin skin test) will be required when students begin their second year in the program. Prior to graduation, students must demonstrate computer competence in word processing, spreadsheet, database, and internet/ . Computer skills can be demonstrated through completing ITE Introduction to Computer Applications and Concepts, or by calling the Counseling Center at (757) to schedule computer competency exams.

Please note: Points listed above are for the grade you earn the first time taking a class. In the event that you take a class and receive a grade of C, D or F on your first attempt, you will receive ½ of the points for the grade you earn on the second attempt. Ex: Receive F in BIO 141 during Fall 2014, retake and earn A in Spring 2015 you will receive ½ of 30 pts = 15 pts. No points are earned for applicants requiring 3 or more attempts to pass a course. Hours: Applicants must complete a minimum of 40 hours (20 in each of 2 different settings - 20 in outpatient and 20 in home health). Applicants can complete an additional 160 hours and earn up to 200 hours toward admission you earn 1 pt for every 10 hours earned. Applicants earning the minimum of 40 hours earn 4 points. Applicants earning the maximum of 200 hours earn 20 points. Recommendations: Submit no more than two (2) recommendations from employers, professional associates, PT clinicians, or professors. Excellent = 5 points. Good = 2 points. Average = 0 points. Bottom Line: 1. Academic Points: 100 possible 2. Hours Points: 20 possible 3. Recommendation Points: 10 possible Total possible Points: 130 possible The top point earners are accepted into the program each year. The next ten qualified applicants will make up the waiting list and placed in the order of points earned. The date stamped on the student s application will decide all point ties.
