Prospective PT students
Are you sure you wish to sign up for a field with terrible wages and continuously decreasing reimbursement?
Disrespected by other medical professionals and insurance companies?

Unprofessional behavior from PT student
Hello all! I have a question on how to deal with a PT student, as a CI, who exhibits unprofessional behavior.
He is 8 weeks (out of 10) into his third affiliation and I am a co-CI for him with one of my colleagues. He has been quite good up until recently, and gets along with the rest of the staff and his hard skills (treatment, evaluation) and bedside manner are fine. He started his affiliation one week late due to a situation on his end and thus, is ending one week later than his...

Army-Baylor DPT prereqs while on active duty
I have done as much research as I possibly can with the exception of speaking to the school itself. I am active duty and very interested in this program, for those of you who have done your pre-reqs while active duty how did you accomplish the labs in person? There is a community college near my current duty station that offers all of these labs both in-person and online, but with my current job it would be near impossible to attend night courses in-person. Would the online labs matter if it...

Advice/Peptalk Needed Bad! (Struggling SPT)
What's up guys. I'm currently in my second semester of PT school, and like a lot of others on here, things have not gone smooth. I'm going to keep it very honest, I really just need someone who has been in my shoes to help uplift me. My first semester ended with a 2.98. My program does not allow you to have more than eight credits below a B, and I got a B- in kinesiology. This wouldn't even be a really big deal if I would've gotten an a in test and measures like a lot of other students...

How do I gain confidence in applying for a PTA program?
I've made the decision to go from IT to physical therapy assistant, it's been a choice I sat on for a year, but I know this is the right decision for my career. I simply could not advance in IT, due in part to working for terrible employers and not given fair chance to get out into the field, I was stuck in desk jobs for several years and paid for classes that at the end of the day meant nothing to my employers, essentially wasted time and money. I thought I would like IT, since I personally...

Can I get into CSUN with a low gpa?
Hello,
I finished my undergrad in 2020 but my cumulative gpa is very low, even taking prereq courses my cum gpa will probably be under 3.0.
I would love to get some insight from those accepted into the DPT program at CSUN to see if I should continue taking prereq courses and apply to CSUN to see if I could get in in a few years. I didn’t care for my grades during my undergrad as I was pursuing a diff career path, now I’m regretting I didn’t take my education more seriously.
I am...
