Hey guys. I have been looking around the forums for a while now but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for so I figured I would post.

I am currently taking my second semester of Health Sciences Anatomy (Anatomy of Human Movement) and didn't realize until after I registered for the second class that I would need to take the Biology Department A&P I and II for Physical Therapy school. My major is Athletic Training which requires one of the two departmental anatomy and physiology's (either Health Sciences or Biology). I guess what I'm asking is why don't PT schools accept Health Sciences anatomy and physiology's along with BIOL A&P's? Is it really THAT different?

I have looked around the websites of schools that I plan on applying to and saw that GRU/MCG/whatever you want to call it accepts BYU's Health Sciences department A&P's... why not go ahead and accept them all?

I think it has to do with the structure/point of view/focus of the course. For the bio A&P, you usually work with cadavers and get into detailed names and physiological processes. Whats the difference in your school's descriptions and curriculum for the health science/bio A&P? I would try to contact admissions coordinators of the schools you are looking at and ask for a substitution if the courses are similar. If not, you should really take the bio department A&P.

So could I take two Biology A&P's at a 2 year community college or is that frowned upon?

most schools dont care where you take the pre-reqs..but some do..I would call and make sure with each school specifically
