Physical Therapy Programs in Maryland - MD

By an allied health world contributing writer
Published: February 5th, 2010

Physical therapists are a fast-growing segment of the healthcare community. With standards being raised almost every decade, this field is one that has gained much respect in the medical industry and one that looks to be highly profitable for those properly trained. This field is beginning to require doctoral degrees to qualify for licensure, and students should be aware of the educational requirements prior to beginning their training.

There are quite a large number of Maryland physical therapy schools, most notably in the Baltimore area. Most of these programs are doctoral level degrees in physical therapy or physical rehabilitation science. There are also online graduate-level degrees available to students in Maryland, which have some advantages in terms of convenience.

There is ample opportunity for continuing education for physical therapists in Maryland. All of the major universities offer coursework in the field, and there are a good number of physical therapy institutes in the state as well. Continuing education opportunities are also regularly listed on the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) of Maryland’s website at www.aptamd.org.

Through campus based and online programs, aspiring Physical Therapists in Baltimore, Columbia, Silver Spring and Ellicot City, Maryland may be able to prepare themselves for the possibility of employment in some of the largest hospitals and healthcare facilities in the state including the Franklin Square Hospital Center, Holy Cross Hospital, John Hopkins Medicine and Prince George’s Hospital Center.
