As a PTA, I feel so disrespected in the fact that the bridging programs still require pre-requisites. My PTA program was the most grueling 2 years of my life and learned and gained so much clinical experience in the work field. I also already have a BS in Exercise Science (unfortunately this was from over 10 years ago and all pre-reqs are expired). My PTA program was >60K tuition. Undergrad was about 30K. I had such a passion for PT at one point. But it's slowly fading knowing that my options for furthering my education is full of so many obstacles. Thanks for the informational video broski
If a PTA and non-PTA (Straight B.S to DPT) takes the same classes and the same amount of time to finish. Then, it should not be called a "bridge" program. You can be a PTA for 10+ years but there will be no credit/s given to you then.This is like starting school all over again.( Guess if you are young enough..go for it!) DPT is a 3 yr. program & PTA is 2 yrs. They should have a program that only makes up the difference. I see some dollars involved here. Recently, I have seen B.S. PTA programs... Just my 2 cents.
It’s absolutely gate keeping to make money . You have to retake certain classes that you would have done in pta program . The system is broken and corrupt .
It’s typically for PTAs who are a bit younger and rather not compete against 1000+ applicants vs 100-200 applicants. Another additional reason behind being a PTA is your a clinician who is capable of working. I’m a Bridge student and work while in school as my education/experience and skills far exceed the typical residential students. Putting in 25-35 hours a week at 45 an hour PRN. So the offset is a no brainer. Also tuition is much less for the transition.
Dr. Lee, my son is a Junior in high school, he is interested in being a PT. I heard there are 6 years Direct PT program. C as n u you pls confirm which colleges offer this program
So what's the benefit of going this route vs just going from your bachelor degree to DPT? I'm trying to understand what the benefit is. Or if you are already a PTA, then shouldn't there be an advantage applying for DPT? This sounds like there's a lot of extra work and steps for accomplishing the same as someone who has not finished PTA certification or worked.
Awesome information I'm about to do my prerequisites for PTA, however in the future I'll be wanting to be a DPT, thank you for all the information you gave 😀
If there's still prereqs, how is a bridge program any different than just going back to school and applying for a PT school? I have a bachelors already and thinking of doing a PTA program so I am exploring my options.
So there are different prerequisites to apply this this program, which are different than PT school. Once your in, you’ll be taking classes in conjunction with working part time as a PTA. I think this would be super valuable because as you are learning PT skills, you can apply it right away to your practice
Great info man! The only caveat to UTMB's tuition is that it is for in-state residents only. You have to live and work in Texas for 12 consecutive months prior to matriculation in order to be eligible for this, othewise you pay like 3x the cost. I am a prospective student of this program--relocating to TX this week and applying in summer '21.
Oooo hmm. Could you find that one for me? Because according to APTA, there are only 2 bridge programs; “There are only two "bridge" educational programs that formally incorporate the PTA's knowledge, skills, and experience into the curriculum: the University of Findlay in Ohio and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in Texas.” www.apta.org/your-career/careers-in-physical-therapy/pta-to-pt-career-transition
@@drjustinleedpt yeah it depends on whether its accredited or not. I would go off of what APTA says, I know some schools may be accredited colleges but are not accredited for PT
Feel like its not worth pta is good as a first carrer not long term because of pay.Going from pta to pt in the amount of time it would take it would be easier to go from pta to nursing if you want to make more money since you would only need an asssocites and the meidan pya for nurses is 80k and the top 10 percent make 128k so nurses comparing median pay make 82 percent of what pt make compare to what pta make which 65 percent what pts and the top ten percent of nurses make about as much as pt according to bearu of labor statics and then you can get a bachelors go to grad school and nurse pratcioner.You could also be rad tech median pay is 65 k top ten percent make 97 k so they make about 66 percent what pt make but you can later become an miri technolgist and the median pay for that is 80k and the top 10 percent make 104 k so in terms of median they make 82 percent what pts make.
As of right now, the only 2 that are accredited are the ones I mentioned in the video. You want to make sure you attend an accredited program so you can actually get licensed! lol
All of your videos help us all out! Could you do some videos where you go into detail about treating a patient that just has knee surgery or something like that?
Thank you for this feedback!! Next year in 2021 I’ll be implementing more PT related videos and treatments. I think you’ll like where this channel will be headed

I totally agree with this. I realized it’s basically like starting over

And now there’s also Concordia in Wisconsin with a bridge program.
Thanks for this information!! I’m currently a PTA in New Hampshire, looks like I might be moving to Texas haha
Thank you so much! You were so inspiring and informative!
Do you know if the university at Galveston offers hybrid program?
Very helpful Information bro!
I’m glad this was useful to you!
Dr. Lee, my son is a Junior in high school, he is interested in being a PT. I heard there are 6 years Direct PT program. C as n u you pls confirm which colleges offer this program
38k to be a dpt🤯
Yuuuup!
Unless you're young and from a well-to-do family, this program is a waste of time and money.

Oh wow I did not know that! Thank you for sharing such valuable information. Definitely helpful and relevant 🤩
I’m pretty sure there’s more schools that offer the bridge. Loma Linda university is one that I know of in California.

If i finish a pta program can i pursue a bachelors degree in exercise science or something similar and bridge to dpt that way??
Yes
@@itzzjh__explain
What is the cost of the program start to finish
That’s a good question! I do not know that, but I recommend emailing the program in charge to see if they can answer that question for you!
Make that money man. Pt is a scam. How would "U" help someone, Dr?? U don't exercise.
Shut up
