"The PTA program at Washington State definitely prepared me for my future career as a physical therapist assistant. The anatomy lab and getting to see inside the human body to understand how it works and connects was one of my favorite parts of the program.  I have worked on the inpatient side of therapy for 19 years now and it prepared me in understanding proper vital signs and how to assess these and how to physically assist my patients safely without injuring myself or the patient. The program and instructors prepared me with all the treatment tools and ideas I needed to treat and progress my patients. "
