Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapist Assistant
Help Patients Live Their Best Lives
The career path of an Occupational Therapy Assistant or a Physical Therapist Assistant is a great choice for those who have a passion for helping others on the road to recovery.
In these career fields, you will have the opportunity to address the needs of a wide variety of people. As an Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA), you can directly help people with fine motor daily living and working skills. Or, as a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA), you can assist people with a wide-range of medical conditions that limit mobility or inhibit the ability to perform functional activities.
The work of both assistants is often completely life changing for their patients. Additionally, these professions are incredibly rewarding with a career path full of opportunity and growth.
