How hard will it be to become a physical therapist?
I'm in a special PT program where I will be 3 years in undergrad and 3 years in grad, will it be substantially harder to squeeze my major into 6 years? #physical-therapist #physical-therapy #healthcare #career-counseling

I would talk about your concerns with the director of the program, or a professor that you especially like. PT school is very hard no matter what.

It can be difficult but only due to the amount of schooling involved. You will begin with a 4 year bachelors degree in the medical field (I have mine in Exercise Physiology). Once you have your bachelors, you will apply for a master's program and begin a residency program once you complete. The schooling is difficult but if you are driven to help people then you are choosing the right field!
