The program includes visits to local physical therapy clinics and interactions with professionals, providing real-world insights into various health professions like Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Athletic Training, Personal Training, and Kinesiology. This program helps students understand the requirements and diverse job opportunities within the field, empowering them to make a positive impact in their communities.
A typical day includes four hours of class sessions from 9am-1pm, Monday-Friday, with afternoons dedicated to course-specific academic excursions, guest speakers, or activities.
This program is ideal for high school students passionate about physical therapy and eager to explore careers in human movement and rehabilitation through hands-on learning and clinical exposure.
