Entry Level Physical Therapy Technician Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level physical therapy technician job?
Start by completing a physical therapist aide or technician program, then pursue any clinical hours you can through internships, volunteer work, or observation placements. Employers at this level look for candidates who understand basic patient care, can follow a PT's direction, and hold CPR certification. A willingness to learn on the job and a professional reference from a clinical placement can give you a real edge over other new applicants.
