Ultimately, Brent believes, “We have a chance here to bring down tuition costs significantly.” With physical therapy schools opting for traditional in-person exclusive educational models, Brent believes, “PT schools, for the most part, are lagging severely behind.”   With the current state of physical therapy school education up for debate, Brent stresses, “The APTA has to stop chasing the medical model.”   Physical therapy practice continues to evolve and it can be challenging to remain current with new information.
