Pima Medical Institute – Seattle PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Pima Medical Institute’s Seattle campus offers an Associate of Occupational Science degree designed to prepare students for rewarding careers in physical therapy. This on-campus program spans approximately 18 months and requires completion of about 75 weeks, totaling 1,586 hours. Students take a blend of courses covering anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, medical terminology, ethics and law—plus hands-on classes focusing on therapeutic exercise and clinical practicum experiences throughout the Seattle area.
Pima’s curriculum emphasizes both technical proficiency and professional skills like patient communication and administrative procedures. The Seattle location benefits from proximity to leading healthcare facilities across King County, providing diverse externship opportunities where students work directly with licensed professionals.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) for licensure as a PTA in Washington state. PMI also supports career placement through dedicated Career Services staff who help with job searches and interview preparation.

Tuition varies; prospective students should consult current financial fact sheets or speak with admissions advisors about costs as well as available federal aid options such as Pell Grants or loans. With demand for PTAs projected to grow much faster than average due to aging populations in the Puget Sound region, PMI graduates enjoy strong job prospects in hospitals, outpatient clinics, schools, home health agencies—and can even continue their education online with PMI’s Bachelor of Science option after earning their associate degree.
