    Are These Issuse Fixable Ones

    P.T.A (Physical Therapist Assistant) is a skilled technical health worker who, under the supervision of a Registered PT (Physical Therapist), assists with the patient’s treatment program (University of West Alabama Physical Therapist Assitant). A planned patient care program is carried out by the assistant following set procedures. Duties of the Physical Therapist Assistant change but include rehabilitation of orthopedic, neurological, pediatric, and sports related problems. Persons interested in pursuing this program should be comfortable working with people of all age groups in close one-to-one relationships; they should enjoy physical activities and be able to be patient and empathetic when working with others (Physical Therapist Assisstant). Care provided by a physical therapist assistant may include teaching patients exercise for mobility, strength and coordination, training for activities such as walking with crutches, canes, or walkers, massage, and the use of physical agents and electrotherapy such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation. To work in the world as a physical therapist assistant, an individual must graduate with an associate degree (two years, usually becomes five semesters) from an accredited physical therapist assistant program at a technical or community college, or university. A national licensing examination is given by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (Physical Therapist Assisstant). Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia require physical therapy assistants to be licensed, registered, or certified, states requiring licensure stipulate specific educational and examination criteria (Who Are Physical Theraphy Assistants?). The goal of this program is to provide knowledge, skill and attitudes that will cumulate in successful employment of the graduate as a licensed physical therapist. Physical…

    Athletic Training Residency Report

    Please accept this letter as my formal application for the Athletic Training Residency Program at New Hampshire Musculoskeletal Institute.

    Annotated Bibliography

    The journal makes reference to a lecture given by Charles M. Magistro, Director of Physical Therapy, Pomona Valley Community Hospital, presented at the Sixty-Third Annual Conference of the American Physical Therapy Association, San Antonio, TX, June 28-July 2, 1987. The paper initially deals with the growth of the profession over the years with Magistro emphasizing that "We physical therapists never must permit our profession to be jeopardized by failing to provide those services that justify our existence” (Magistro 1728). He explains that “The most urgent of these challenges is in the matter of education” (Magistro 1728), the issue is really affected by funding concerns proposing to readers to support the foundation’s fund-raising campaign to improve the quality of PT education. He was convinced that “the foundation had unlimited potential because its goals were tied so closely to the survival of our profession, specifically providing funding for research and scholarship activities” (Magistro 1731). The author is emphasizing the need to support the foundation to improve the profession in one way or another, a message that has made the article interesting and persuasive. This article sheds light on several issues in the physical therapy profession. Magistro makes his opinion very clear on the topic of physician referral for profit. “I remain deeply concerned about anything and everything that has the potential to debase our profession, whether it be the improper use of supportive personnel by our own members or the reaping of profits by practitioners outside of our profession from their unethical referral…

    The Pros And Cons Of Physical Therapy

    Despite these “bumps in the road”, I am hopeful and confident that the future of physical therapy is much better. Perhaps, the ACA’s emphasis on prevention and wellness programs will eventually lead to a wealth of new business opportunities for physical therapists, and therapists will become increasingly involved in patient care decisions, including those related to post-in-patient treatment plans. This could go a long way toward achieving complete…

    Occupational Therapy Project

    Goals done for survey and interviews. In the steps completed for the upcoming feasibility report of our project, Alicia and I worked together in creating the questions for both the survey and interview that will help us gain data to support or oppose the integration of the PT and OT prosthetic class at the University of Findlay. The interview and meeting with the Dr. Andrea Koepke, the College of Health Professions’ Dean, was finalized after I contacted Dr. Koepke via email. Alicia, a PT student, and I, an OT student, each sent out an email to the presidents of our respective major’s clubs asking them to forward the link to our survey on SurveyMonkey and the IRB statement to everyone in the Physical Therapy Organization (PTO) or the Student Occupational Therapy Association (SOTA). An email with our survey has been sent out to the SOTA members but I am unsure if the PTO members have received the survey. With the interview scheduled and the survey sent out, a couple of the hardest aspects of this feasibility report have been…

    I will be meeting people that would bring diverse philosophies and ideas together within the DPT program, so it is students' responsibility to keep professionalism by having an open mind for a more organized and unified system of practice that represents the field of physical therapy. From teaching a bilingual school with students with disabilities at New York City to educating students studying abroad over the summer at Hofstra University, I learned how to become a teacher that adopts practice based on my students' response. Granted, I believe prospective students should focus on the most informative source when establishing treatments: the patients. By believing education as the driving force, I'm eager to become a DPT student that will seek collaboration with other prospective students by utilizing movement system as the foundation of patient and client…

    Independent Study Mentorship Program

    The Independent study mentorship program or better known as ISM is truly what it sounds, as it is an independent study in which the student is not only treated as a learner of the teacher, the ISM instructor, but yet accepted as a fellow thinker because independent research and an innovative approach is highly encouraged. The reason as to why I would like to be a part of this brilliant opportunity is because I get to study and research the topics and information that would fit into the profession that I seek to get more opportunities other than the psychology classes that I already had and will take next year, to have a chance to see how the environment in the real world is while…

    Physical Therapy Program

    The utmost characteristic is for a student to have a desire to serve others rather than themselves. Without a desire to serve others the purpose of physical therapy is lost. Physical therapy is a health care profession and requires helping people who do not have the knowledge or discipline to help themselves. There is no greater meaning in life than to provide service to others. Students with goals of accumulating money or accolades ruin themselves [and in time, will be disappointed,…
