I'm married for 10 years, SAHM and I'm looking to go to school to become a PT. How do I start? Any Jewish programs available?

Do you have a bachelors? Have you taken the pre-reqs yet?

Nothing but I'm not in a rush.

My DH is almost done with his PT degree.
There are no Jewish programs, unless you count Touro in Manhattan, which is completely co-ed and most of the class and all the professors are not Jewish.
You need a bachelors with lots of prerequisites in class (an online degree won't cut it.) Once that's done, be aware that the doctorate programs are highly competitive and many people don't get in on the first try. There are also much fewer PT programs than other therapies so you may have to travel for school.
Not looking to scare you, but you should know that it's not for the faint of heart, school is unbelievably intense and if you don't pass even one course you have to leave the program.
If this sounds right, I wish you the best. You might want to look into OT or Speech though, both are less intense than PT.

I'm a pt- I didn't find that the program was hard to get into but the schooling is really intense and there are no frum programs. It's not a clean field in that you'll have to give your male patients back massages during rotations
