A career in healthcare starts with the right foundation, and Fitzgerald High School’s Physical Therapy II course equips students with the skills and hands-on experience to succeed in the growing profession of physical therapy.

Building on the knowledge and experience gained from Physical Therapy I, this advanced course provides real-world training opportunities that prepare students for careers as physical therapy aides, assistants, or physical therapists.

The course emphasizes work-based learning and project-based experiences, giving students practical knowledge that opens doors to work opportunities in various settings including nursing homes, sports rehabilitation centers, and orthopedic clinics.

Students interested in becoming physical therapy assistants, physical therapists, or pursuing other advanced healthcare careers will benefit from the Physical Therapy Aide II program.

While most states require licensing for physical therapy assistants, physical therapy aids typically do not need certification and can enter the workforce immediately upon high school graduation.

Fitzgerald High School is committed to shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals, giving students the tools they need to thrive in this dynamic industry.

Graduates leave well-prepared to make a meaningful difference, whether they choose to pursue further education or enter the workforce directly.
