Physical Therapist Assistant Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapist assistant in Maryland?
You must earn an associate degree from a CAPTE-accredited physical therapist assistant program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTAs, and obtain a license from the Maryland Board of Physical Therapy Examiners before working in the state. Maryland does not issue temporary licenses, so your license must be active before your first day of patient care. Maryland also participates in the Physical Therapy Compact, which can ease licensure for PTAs moving from other member states.
How much do physical therapist assistants make in Maryland?
Physical therapist assistants in Maryland earn a median of about $77,670 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $39,260 for the lowest 10% to over $91,570 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physical therapist assistants in Maryland?
Companies currently hiring physical therapist assistants in Maryland include Ultimate Therapy, NovaCare, and APT Healthcare, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Maryland's dense concentration of hospital systems, outpatient orthopedic groups, and skilled nursing facilities means PTA openings appear consistently across both large healthcare networks and independently owned rehabilitation practices throughout the state.
Which Maryland cities have the most physical therapist assistant jobs?
Silver Spring, Baltimore, and Rockville post the most physical therapist assistant openings in Maryland. Baltimore drives volume through its large hospital systems and affiliated outpatient clinics, while suburban D.C. communities such as Silver Spring and Rockville add significant demand from densely populated residential corridors with high concentrations of orthopedic and geriatric practices, and Annapolis generates steady openings tied to its regional medical centers and growing older adult population.
Are there remote physical therapist assistant jobs in Maryland?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapist assistant work is inherently hands-on, requiring direct patient contact for therapeutic exercise, manual techniques, and functional mobility training, which cannot be performed remotely. About 0% of physical therapist assistant openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles typically involve documentation support, telehealth check-ins, or program coordination rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a physical therapist assistant in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate PTA positions at skilled nursing facilities and inpatient rehabilitation units, which typically offer structured mentorship and a high volume of patient contact that builds skills quickly. University of Maryland Medical System and Adventist HealthCare both operate new-graduate onboarding tracks for clinical support roles. Candidates who worked as physical therapy aides, rehab technicians, or exercise physiologists during school carry a concrete advantage, and holding your Maryland PTA license on the day you apply removes the most common hiring barrier for entry-level candidates.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapist assistant jobs in Maryland?
You can find and apply to physical therapist assistant jobs in Maryland on Migrate Mate, which lists current Maryland openings updated regularly. Search the listings for roles that match your specialty, preferred setting, and location, then apply directly to the ones that fit your background.
