Physical Therapists

Visit the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education Web site, https://www.capteonline.org, to find an accredited physical therapy program.

Get a part-time or summer job working at a hospital or medical clinic to obtain experience working with patients and fellow staff. Physical therapists must understand and interact well with patients and other medical professionals.

Consider if you would like to pursue a specialty. Visit the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties at https://specialization.apta.org to see what additional certifications are available for physical therapists.
