PTCAS Walk-through Part 4 (Experiences)

[@TheFsf221]

Thank you! The part of putting down "what you learned and who you became" was really helpful.

[@PTAPPCO]

Daniel, I'm so glad that, that suggestion was helpful to you. Best of luck with the remainder of your application process.

omg hi daniel HAHAH

[@georgesaccladios]

Thank you so much for the very helpful video. A quick question though! Can it be a spiritual organization (church)? or it cannot be anything related to religion?

[@PTAPPCO]

Hi George, great question. You can include a spiritual organization, but it all depends on why you are sharing it. If you had leadership or service experience with that religious organization I would include that. You want to focus what you share on what you did or why that experience was meaningful to you. Hope that helps, please let me know if you have any additional questions.

What are some examples of event to put into your Experience section? Is this where I discuss my observation hours?

[@PTAPPCO]

This is the section of the application that has often been called the “throw mud at it” section. Any and every employment, extra-curricular, academic research, or volunteer activity you have been involved in over the past 4-6 years of your pre-PT journey can be included in this section. When I say “throw mud at it” I mean it. Examples may include any clubs you have been actively involved with, recreational sports teams, a theater group, if you coached a sports team, humanitarian events/trips, food drives, etc. Any worthwhile or meaningful activity can and should be included. If you are employed as a physical therapy technician/aide, these hours were already included in your “Observation Hours” section of your application and should not be entered in this section again.
