Orthopedic PTA - 2023 Spring Cohort

Dates:  Feb. 7 - Aug. 23, 2023

With a shift in payment models that focus on outcomes, it’s expected that many physical therapy businesses will seek highly-qualified and educated professionals to comply with new standards. At the Nxt Gen Institute of Physical Therapy, we envision the PTA to be a major driver towards this success. We have developed this 23 unit, web-based specialty program to cover all of the major topics within Orthopedic Physical Therapy.

Erin Hoffman, PTA, OPTA, OMPTA

My name is Erin Hoffman and I have been involved with The Nxt Gen Institute of Physical Therapy since 2017 when I was a student in the second OPTA cohort! I have grown and evolved with this program: beginning as a student, to curriculum coordinator, and now Program Director. I have a passion for the development and progression of the Physical Therapist Assistant profession. I believe this program will provide you with the opportunity to expand your skill set, knowledge of orthopedic conditions, and communication with your teammates to provide the best patient care within the parameters of your license. Please do not hesitate to reach out for more information or with any questions!
