Presentation transcript:

 Healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages who have problems or health related conditions, illnesses, or injuries that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities as well as they would like in their daily lives.

 Currently, only graduate degree physical therapist programs are accredited. Master's degree programs typically are 2 to 2.5 years in length, while doctoral degree programs last 3 years. Physical therapist education programs include foundational science courses, such as biology, anatomy, physiology, cellular histology, exercise physiology, neuroscience, biomechanics, pharmacology, pathology, and radiology/imaging, as well as behavioral science courses, such as evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning. Some of the clinically-based courses include medical screening, examination tests and measures, diagnostic process, therapeutic interventions, outcomes assessment, and practice management.

 Employment of physical therapists is expected to grow by 30 percent from 2008 to 2018, much faster than the average for all occupations. Changes to restrictions on reimbursement for physical therapy services by third- party payers will increase patient access to services and, thus, increase demand. The increasing elderly population will drive growth in the demand for physical therapy services. Job opportunities will be good for licensed physical therapists in all settings.

 - Median annual wages of physical therapists were $72,790. The middle 50 percent earned between $60,300 and $85,540. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $50,350, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $104,350.

 I am interested in this job because I love to work with people and help others. I love helping people and would enjoy assisting those who need physical care and aid. Athletes need physical therapist aid very often, and I am an athlete myself and would love to help other athletes.
