Physical therapy jobs in schools are essential, as school physical therapists do more than strengthen motor skills and treat ailments; they strengthen lives, families, and communities.

Remote physical therapist jobs are becoming more common as schools increasingly utilize technology to help their students. By using video calls and telehealth tools, PTs in remote jobs can perform evaluations, create therapy plans, and support students who live in underserved or rural areas where access to care is limited.
Key responsibilities for remote physical therapist jobs include:
Before applying for school physical therapist jobs near you, you will need to earn a Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy (DPT). Every DPT program has a clinical setting where you gain real-world experience under the supervision of another DPT. After your coursework and clinical rotations, school physical therapists must receive certification and state licensure. The American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties handles the different specialties you can receive certification for as a school physical therapist. Individuals must also pass the National Physical Therapy Examination to receive their state licenses. For school-based physical therapist assistant jobs, applicants must receive an associate's degree from an accredited program and a license or certification to practice.
