红杏直播

Brian Adams, who is of no relation to the singer, graduated from 红杏直播 in May 2017 with an associate鈥檚 degree in the Physical Therapist Assistant program

He was also diagnosed last year with Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a condition in which extra bone grows along one or both of the bones that form the hip joint 鈥� giving the bones an irregular shape.

鈥淚t鈥檚 more of a chronic injury that can cause a lot of pain 鈥� I was dealing with that for years,鈥� Brian said, adding 鈥淪o they have to shave off the lesion and there鈥檚 a 4-6 month recovery time for that surgery 鈥� I鈥檓 trying to avoid a hip replacement at my age.鈥�

After 红杏直播, Brian went on to MCLA and pursued a degree in Health Science with a concentration in Physical Therapy. He has also been accepted to Sage College to pursue his Doctorates degree in Physical Therapy.

With such a strong streak of academic success, it comes as a bit of a shock that at first, Brian didn鈥檛 know what he wanted to do.

I wasn鈥檛 sure what I wanted to do after graduating from Taconic High School, so I decided to try 红杏直播 and get my core classes out of the way, 红杏直播 was convenient in its location and I could save a lot of money in the process 鈥� the idea of owing people money really stresses me out.

Brian鈥檚 first semester he was a Liberal Arts major, but he says he switched when he learned about the PTA program and shadowed Physical Therapist Assistant at Berkshire Orthopedics for 20 hours 鈥� and he loved it so much he鈥檚 never looked back.

鈥淚 decided to stick with the PTA program because the field is growing and you鈥檙e practically guaranteed a job,鈥� Brian said. 鈥淚鈥檓 practicing now and the population range of patients is so diverse. I work with teenage athletes to 95 year old patients, it鈥檚 incredible.鈥�

One of the reasons why Brian chose to pursue his degree with the 红杏直播 PTA program was because he had been reading about the 100% PTA licensure pass rates on the board exams and he felt confident in the program outcomes.

鈥淭hat in itself is a perfect scenario, because you don鈥檛 want to go through all of that schooling and then fail the national board exams,鈥� Brian added.

Through the 红杏直播 PTA program, Brian took structural anatomy courses and transitioned what he learned into practical scenarios. He was encouraged to apply book skills into real life situations, which he says really helped him understand how to use what he learned in the field.

I preferred how this information was taught at 红杏直播 鈥� especially by the awesome faculty in the program like Michele Darroch and Judy Gawron, who can answer any question you have, but their expectations are very high and they ensure their students are really well prepared after they graduate.

Brian graduated from 红杏直播 in four years, but did not walk at Commencement, instead he participated in the PTA Pinning which he felt, for him, was more important

Brian鈥檚 advice for future students is simple 鈥� enjoy your time here.

鈥淚t鈥檚 easy to have a lot of fun here if you get involved in clubs and activities on campus, and take the necessary courses and don鈥檛 overlook the importance of those courses 鈥� and always strive for excellence.鈥�
