What classes should I take in high school if I am interested in applying to a Physical Therapist Assistant program?
If considering physical therapy or any health technology career, you should take Basic Math, Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, if possible. All of these will relate to procedures and techniques performed in the field of physical therapy. Also, strong English speaking and writing skills are needed since PTAs must teach patients (both verbally and in written home exercise programs), communicate with other health professionals, and document treatments in written formats.
