How to Get Medical Jobs : How to Become a Physical Therapist

[gorthon20]

To become a physical therapist, the best advice I've come by is doing your research on program requirements! Most programs accept minimum GPA's of 3.2, but the average of applicants is 3.7. Most programs require undergraduate coursework in psychology, biology, anatomy, chemistry, physics, and humanities, as well as approximately 40 hours of observation. Most students who want to work in the medical profession major in sciences, but it isn't necessary.

If the video is 1:19 mins long and you mess up in the first few seconds, the video should be redone. There are too many ums and I hear a mouth suck sounds at 0:26 and 0:28

that's a good question for my parents. My dad's an idiot, he smokes but he blames me for being unhealthy and then he doesn't permit sports because he says they are only good for people who are already fit. The thing is, I've never been given the opportunity to do things involving sports or fitness so it fed my fascination with it and I try to do what I can. Since I'm able to do these things as a kid or teen, I want to help others with it. Does that make sense?

[asianwannabeamerican]

I need some advice. Is physical therapy right for me? For starters, I'm not an athlete at all. I've never played a sport and I'm in my senior year of high school. I'm very interested in physical fitness and helping and motivating others to pursue healthy lifestyles. Personal training sounds like a better match for me but I want to make a pretty high salary (at least $60,000 entry level), but most importantly I want to do something that involves physical fitness, and helping others. Please help!

From what I've learned I don't think Physical Therapy salary would start off that much. But it sounds to me it would be good for you! I'm 19 and planning on going into it, if you do too then you can know someone else is out there going through what you are =)

@asianwannabeamerican personal trainer's similar to physical therapist except PTs work in a clinic and get paid more while trainers are working on the field such during the football games or practices. Either way, u got to be active since u move and do many physical movements that apply to both the patients and urself.
