Welcome!  This is a student resource site for student physical therapist assistants. This site contains information we have gone over through out the first year of the program. The purpose of this site is to serve as a reference for students reviewing, so the information is in one convenient location. All the information came from lecture notes or books we have used in the program.

 On the left are tabs that will lead you to the information you seek. Here is a brief description of what you can find under each.
