Purpose

The Pre-Physical Therapy Club is an effort between the pre-physical therapy students of Dordt College to assist one another in preparation for graduate school.  The club provides a means by which pre-physical therapy students can get to know each other and help each other with planning, class scheduling, GRE preparation, and physical therapy school applications. We bring in practicing physical therapists, current physical therapy school students, and physical therapy school recruiters in order to help students understand the profession and gain knowledge of the physical therapy school admission process. The desire of the club and its members is to:

Identify freshmen/underclassmen that are interested and help them get better understanding of the profession and what it takes to become a physical therapist

Direct students in their selection of classes in consideration of the prerequisites and recommended electives of the specific physical therapy institutions

Advise students (upper classmen) on preparation for the GRE and give suggestions on the timeline of applications with their personal statement, recommendations, work experience, etc.

If you are interested in pursuing a career in physical therapy, feel free to come to our meetings or e-mail the club with your questions. Our purpose is to be a resource for students to use as they encounter questions pertaining to the field of physical therapy.
