A: FROM MENTOR ANGELA SKAGGS
IN KY
You need to take courses such as Chemistry, Biology, and Anatomy
and
Physiology. Try to learn as much about the body as you can
before you go
to college. The beginning physical therapy classes will be
much easier
for you if you take these courses I have mentioned above.
Also, if you
know someone in your area that is a physical therapist talk
to them
about allowing you to job shadow them for awhile. You could
get to
observe them in action. Getting prepared for college is one
of the most
important things you can do while in high school. The better
prepared
you are for college courses, the better your grades will be,
which in
turn will increase your chances for acceptance into a physical
therapy
program. Good Luck!
