Guest guest Posted May 21, 1999 Report Share Posted May 21, 1999 Fracine: Successful PT students are the ones who ask questions, problem solve and seek information every where. You are already on that road. Participate in optional labs or practice sessions; Maximize your study time. Read articles; actively participate in class; do not hesitate to ask questions; there are no dumb questions. Access the PTManager web site. Lots of good information there. Next time include your email address in the message so that any one who wants to answer privately has your correct address. Good luck.

It is a full-time program. Can anyone provide advice as to: (1) How to maximize your PT educational experience? and (2) Factors that successful PT students seem to have in common? I already plan to join the student section of APTA. As background, I am pursuing PT as a second career at age 37. I have an undergraduate degree in journalism, and have spent the last two years taking the necessary pre-requisite courses and volunteering in an inpatient hospital PT setting and an outpatient setting. Thank you for your input.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 I have a practice in Atlanta. Despite what you might hear, things are not as bad as they sound. Things will even be better when you graduate, especially if you are willing to work in a rural setting.
