Thoughts on PTA to PT Bridge program

[antonnnguyen]

Hi just wanted to see if it's worth it to do this route. I've been interviewed for PTA school and they really like me so I'm fairly confident I can do their 1.5 year PTA program. The Findlay program in Ohio is currently the only school that has the bridge program and wanted to see if anyone had or knows anything about it. Thanks

Also utmb in texas has a program as well, but it doesn't show up in PTCAS website as being accredited? Their entry-DPT program is credited however.

If you were already a PTA with a few years of experience in, then I'd say that its a sound option. If you want to be a PT, and are not currently a PTA, I would recommend focusing your efforts on getting your bachelor's as well as knocking out all the PT program prereqs, and going straight to PT school.
