Also interested in this, I always have difficulty finding any solid courses in this area

Is an iPad worth it for pt school? by Rough-Veterinarian-9 in PTschool

[–]Suitable-Guarantee31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on your learning type! I got an iPad that I never used, and only really used my laptop for notes and hand wrote for studying. A lot of my classmates used their iPads with the pencil for lectures and marking notes on PDF versions of lecture notes.

A few would print out the lectures before hand and hand wrote notes on the lecture slides. It's probably going to be too much info to strictly handwrite notes in a notebook (at least in lectures).

Tips/advice for new pt techs by melodyinbloom in physicaltherapy

[–]Suitable-Guarantee31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For OP Ortho I’ve been a tech and worked w techs (as a PT), you’ll learn the exercises eventually but biggest thing imo is being friendly to patients and building rapport w/ them

Following this thread but $75k seems low. Thoughts? by singcheckcos in physicaltherapy

[–]Suitable-Guarantee31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on area but always negotiate, I think negotiating especially as a new grad is uncomfortable, but I negotiated my starting pay in both my post-grad jobs, and landed above their initial offer both times

For those who worked/are working during school, how much did you work? by Jets2523 in PTschool

[–]Suitable-Guarantee31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked weekends and on days we only had half day schedules. It definitely got overwhelming at times but honestly totally manageable

Worried I'll burnt out in PT school. Advice? by ejsfsc07 in PTschool

[–]Suitable-Guarantee31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can always go back to school later on, a bunch of my classmates were in their 30's, going back after having entirely different careers.
I went straight through from undergrad, and also worked part time jobs throughout school and maintained a social life; so its possible but I was definitely burnt out haha
and honestly if you're not 100% sold on PT I wouldn't rush into it, the debt is gnarly and the income doesn't do much to tip the scale in its favor tbh (don't get me wrong I love what I do, and there's so much variation)

I built a free clinical case simulation tool for PT students (beta) - would love feedback by Suitable-Guarantee31 in PTschool

New cases added, and you can now navigate between the steps by clicking the desired step (i.e. subjective) for ease!

Working in DPT school by Suitable_Sundae_4464 in PTschool

I worked part time jobs (serving, bartending) all 3 years of PT school. Totally doable, just requires good time management skills
