Abstract	Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants are working to improve the quality of life for those with health problems--and career and technical education is working to improve the quality of their training. Training to become a physical therapist requires both an academic and a clinical education with courses in psychology, biology, physics, chemistry and English. The American Physical Therapy Association encourages students pursuing a career in physical therapy to enter the profession with a post baccalaureate degree and says that many colleges and universities are in the process of changing their physical therapy programs from a bachelor's degree to a post-baccalaureate degree. In this article, physical therapist assistant programs at Eastern Technical High School (Baltimore, Maryland) and Indian River Community College (Florida) are described. (ERIC).
