Mission

The mission of the Physical Therapist Assistant program at Kennebec Valley Community College is to provide the opportunity for an education to prepare students for licensure and practice as physical therapist assistants.

Physical therapy is a growing and changing health care field which needs practitioners who can adapt to life-long learning.  The program assumes a responsibility for developing a skilled work force to help meet the dynamic physical therapy needs of the community and to enhance the quality of existing physical therapy services. Through a cooperative effort with clinical education centers, the Physical Therapist Assistant program will offer an opportunity for the students to develop necessary knowledge, skills, and professional behaviors to attain an AAS (Associate in Applied Science Degree) in Physical Therapy.
