PTA Training Series - Part 2: Malpractice and Moving Beyond the License

In episode two of our five-part PTA training series, we delve deep into the gray area of malpractice, liability, and the challenges faced by Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) who are eager to expand beyond their traditional roles. As PTAs look to transition into health, wellness, and fitness or even set up their own solo practices, understanding the intricacies of their professional role, its scope, and the potential risks is imperative.

In this episode:

• Unravel the world of malpractice for PTAs and what it truly means.
• Learn about the concepts of negligence and duty of care in the realm of fitness and wellness.
• Discover why your PTA credentials, when combined with other certifications, can change client expectations and elevate risk.
• Understand the vital importance of documentation, even outside the typical clinical setting.
• Get insights into how PTAs can successfully and safely step outside their clinical role, armed with knowledge and precaution.

Plus, find out how to join our exclusive "PTA Trailblazers" Facebook group for more guidance and resources tailored for the ambitious PTA.

Stay tuned for our next episode where we’ll tackle how to mitigate risk when running a PTA business. Knowledge is power. Equip yourself to make informed decisions and avoid pitfalls as you chart a new course in your professional journey.
