Considering a PTA School in Ohio
There are a number of factors to consider when comparing PTA programs. Here is a short list of a couple of the most crucial considerations to always remember as you research for your physical therapist assistant school:
- PTA School size
- Pass-rate of the National License exam
- Lecture room and lab-room resources
- Program costs and opportunities for financial aid

While you take these PTA program things into thought, it can be useful to talk with present-day students and recent graduates of the physical therapy assistant schools of interest. Also, talking to employers who have employed these graduates can give you more insight to each school.
