HopefulPT7 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 For anyone who has previously been accepted to the PT programs at Western and Queens, how much volunteer experience did you have? I think I have the grades to at least be further considered, but a little unsure about how much experience is typically required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rehab17 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 hey i got accepted into queens last year. what i know about the acceptances for queens is to not count out the variety of experiences you have. for example, diff settings (i worked in private practice clinic, long term care home, adult day program, kindergarten with PTs), diff types of PT (neuro, cardioresp, msk), diff populations (i worked w seniors, kids w disabilities, ppl w dementia, students, ppl undergoing cancer treatment, and varsity athletes).

HopefulPT95 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I got accepted into Queens and Western last year and had a bunch of experience in different outpatient clinics and a hospital shadowing and volunteering as a PTA, as well as volunteering with individuals with disabilities and some athletic training stuff. It seems like most of my class had a bunch of experience like I did but I know a few people who did not have much directly related physical therapy experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulPT7 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 How many hours did you have approximately? I have experience in a few private PT clinics, as well as a long term care home. I also have a lot of experience with athletic training but I'm not sure if my hours are good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
