ECPI University-Florida PTA Program Overview

ECPI University’s Associate of Applied Science in Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at the Lake Mary, Florida campus offers an accelerated pathway into a rewarding healthcare career. Designed to be completed in just 18 months thanks to ECPI’s year-round schedule, this program consists of 73 credit hours that blend classroom learning with hands-on training and clinical experiences.
Students gain practical skills through simulated labs on campus and supervised rotations at local clinics, hospitals, or rehabilitation centers—vital for real-world readiness. The curriculum covers therapeutic techniques like exercises, manual therapy, modalities such as heat and electrical stimulation, plus essential knowledge about musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions, post-surgical care, and ethical patient interaction. Core courses include “Professional Issues for the Physical Therapist Assistant” and “Medical and Surgical Conditions,” along with arts & sciences classes for a well-rounded education.

Graduates are prepared to assist licensed physical therapists in helping patients regain mobility and independence after injury or illness. The job outlook is strong nationwide; locally in Central Florida—including Orlando—the growing population ensures steady demand across hospitals, outpatient centers, sports medicine facilities, and more.

The PTA program is accredited by CAPE (Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education), ensuring high educational standards.
