@Cupcake5555 I am a little confused by all of your threads this month…none of the others mention OT or PT…they are more business related, and you aren’t sure about those either.
Keep in mind…to practice as a PT, you will need a DPT (doctorate in physical therapy). This is a lengthy number of years plus externships.
For OT you will need a masters degree. If you didn’t get accepted to a direct entry OT program (and it sounds like you didn’t) add at least 2-3 years after your bachelors.
Both OT and PT programs are highly competitive for admissions.
And in both cases, you will need to pass a licensing exam.
Anyone in a allied health profession could potentially have to deal with a patient dying. People seek OT and PT services because of an injury or inability to do things they need to do.
Re: lifting…OTs typically don’t lift as much, but they might need to position a client, which requires moving the person carefully as trained. PTs don’t carry people, but also might need to reposition or move a person who can’t do so on their own…for therapy purposes.
