These individuals work in a variety of clinical settings including: hospitals, skilled nursing, outpatient, pediatrics and Veteran’s facilities (James Haley). The advisory committee oversees program equipment purchases over $1,000 and any major curriculum changes.\n\nProgram students must complete three clinical affiliation courses that require 180 hours of supervision by area clinicians. They are assessed at mid-term and at the end of each clinical course by the facilities on their professional and clinical skills. Many SPC PTA students are hired by the clinical agencies where they completed clinical courses following graduation.","PROGRAM_CODE":"PTA-AS","PROGRAM_DESIGN":"As an increasing number of baby boomers reach retirement many are not slowing down, rather are continuing their active lifestyles - running, swimming, skiing, biking and hiking. This continuation of activity into retirement is taking a toll on hip and knee joints often requiring joint replacement surgery.\n\nAging boomers are also at a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes and so, with a goal of remaining independent and mobile, they are turning to physical therapy. Boomers are seeking physical therapy services in record numbers to restore their strength, flexibility and balance after being sidelined by injury, illness, or disease. \n\nOne result of this large population seeking physical therapy services is that the U.S Department of Labor is projecting a 45% increase in job growth for physical therapist assistants between 2010-2020.","PROGRAM_NAME":"Physical Therapist Assistant","PROGRAM_NEED":"Prior to the mid-70’s physical therapists were largely directed by physicians and relied on physical therapy aides to assist them with patient care. These PT aides had no formal training with knowledge being gained strictly by experience. \n\nDuring the late 1970’s and 1980’s physical therapists began assuming more responsibility for clinical decision making and gradually became more autonomous and less reliant on directions from physicians. The result of a more independent physical therapy practitioner was a need for a more formally trained assistant. In response to this nation-wide need the physical therapist assistant model was developed and in 1970 St. Petersburg College was the 3rd PTA program to be accredited in the nation.","PROGRAM_SUMMARY":"

Transferable to a Bachelor’s degree in Health Services Administration at SPC. This program begins every August. All Physical Therapist Assistant courses (PHT course prefix) are offered only at the Health Education Center at 7200 66th St. N., Pinellas Park. Due to the time-intensive nature of the PTA program courses, it is highly recommended that students complete as many of the general education and support courses as possible prior to entry into the program. Candidates will also complete the Health Programs Application. It is recommended that all students applying to the PTA program see a counselor or advisor at the Health Education Center.
