Program Information
The PTA Program at Kennebec Valley
Community College is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education
of the American Physical Therapy Association. The curriculum is designed to
develop the knowledge, skills and professional behaviors required of the
entry-level PTA. It is a rigorous, competency-based program that uses student
self-assessment in the learning process. Students are instructed in clinical
skills and are required to practice and demonstrate safe and accurate
performance of these skills throughout the curriculum. Students complete three
full-time clinical education experiences in a variety of practice settings.
These experiences give students the opportunity to apply clinical skills under
the supervision of clinical instructors to individuals whose abilities are
impaired by disease or injury. The program is committed to preparing its
graduates to be valued members of the health care team. For more information
