Should you want to be a physical therapist, you really have to get into a certified degree course. The CAPTE, accredits academic courses. There might be more than one certified PT graduate modules in the country. Close to 10 of such type of training programs honored Master's degrees in PT, whereas around 200 granted doctoral degrees. Be willing to devote a minimum of 2 yrs on a Master's degree as well as 3 yrs on a doctoral degree to become a physical therapist. On the other hand, it is easy to be a physical therapy assistant. Many of these PTA assist people who have a physical therapist's guidance. For you to become a physical therapy assistant, you might be required to have an Associate's degree in the specialty, and even take on-the-job training. You gotta see this for more details.
