@itsanatomytime: I’m not saying this is for everybody but if you’re looking into PT, it is something to consider! ##physicaltherapy##physicianassistant##graduateschool##collegestudent
Man I’m sick of seeing all these videos as I’m applying to PT school, it’s like I want to do it but literally all I hear is how bad it is and how much it’s not worth it

Life has just gotten so crazy expensive - become a physician assistant for sure. The low pay in the therapy world is pretty degrading.

Anna Finsel, SPT :
your points make sense, but I think everyone should choose a career based on what makes them happy and more passionate. I chose PT because I love the science of movement where with PA I wouldn’t be as happy to do my job because I’m not as excited about it.

Twenty eight year PT currently in home care. if I went back, I would be an orthopedic surgical PA. however, all medical jobs now are about numbersAnd productivity quotas and PUMPING them out.

Good points if you really don’t have a passion for what PTs do

I understand where you are coming from but you can totally change specialties as a PT!

2 does not make any sense and is inaccurate. PTs can jump from any specialty they want to

PT is just as flexible as PA, I do home health peds and acute care per diem

Good move but #2 isn’t correct, it’s the same flexibility that a PA would have - coming from a PT

def a good move. PT school just isn't worth it at the moment. and don't sugar coat it, Salary is the #1 reason for choosing a career.

Solid reasoning for someone who doesn’t have that strong passion for rehabilitation versus just medical care

You’re making me think my decision again😭 I thought of the two, and I had PA orginally but switched to PT since it interested me more and I like the sound of it more. They both make good money. I also could have more opportunities in PT. But this video is making me think abt it. What do I do😭✌️

Javi :
To clarify: The flexibility in specialty you’re referring to for PA’s is called lateral mobility and actually similar to (arguable more expansive) within PT/OT careers. PA’s can work in many specialties from acute care to outpatient, while PT/OT can reach the same practice settings within the medical model plus home health, schools, and maany untraditional settings (eg urban planning, resettlement/immigration, etc). Within the hospital-based settings, therapies have the ability to specialize in neuro, cardio, ortho, vestibular, sports, etc. It’s all equally possible under the same one degree for both PA and PT/OT paths.

Jordan Afraimi :
You mention career freedom but PTs can also specialize. And there’s so many settings they can work in. Also, aren’t PAs unable to have their own practice? Doesn’t sound like freedom working for someone forever. PTs can own their own business and then let someone else take it over after a few years and boom, freedom.

PT is profitable if you are good at selling. PA you will always be relying on a job working for someone else
