Hi,

So I've been looking for the past 2 months for PT Aide/Tech positions in my area (Miami/Ft. Lauderdale Area)
and there has been no success. I applied to about 10-12 positions that were both in the hospital and outpatient settings. I'm still currently looking but my friends are medscribes and I wanted to know if that would benefit me? I want to start working in the pt field but I know being a medscribe is more geared to med school and p.a.
Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated.

not likely to change your chances of admission significantly. but a job's a job if you need money

No, it wouldn't. And it's ****ty pay and long hours. Don't bother if you just want to be a PT

if you "just" want to be a PT

Because being a PT is clearly a plan B intended for those who don't have what it takes to be a physician, right?

Be a little more thoughtful regarding what your imply with your use of language.

I don't know about you, but I can't count the number of times I've wistfully watched the herds of residents wishing that I could be one of them. Alas, I was destined to only be a PT. It's a secret shame I carry throughout life. I lament my lowly PT status almost daily during my 5:00 Pilates class. Or happy hour.

So. Many. Regrets.
