Andrew M. Ball MS MBA PT -> Re: Advice needed abt PT school (May 14, 2002 11:12:00 AM) I'd advise against a post-professional masters. For the same time and money, I'd suggest a post-professional doctorate (DScPT, or DPTSc) in the clinical area of your choice. This is NOT an entry-level or transitional DPT, and UNLIKE ANY DPT, it will provide you advanced clinical skills and open doors for you to serve as clinical faculty at a PT education program. If pediatrics or ortho is your thing, I'd also try to find a program that incorporates PCS or OCS into the program. Drew

amelia -> Re: Advice needed abt PT school (May 22, 2002 7:45:00 AM) Hey Drew, Thanks for your advice, the reason i am looking for a post proffesional MS is that it makes it easier for me to do a PhD. Besides, a post professional doctoral degree seems quite uncommon in the univs.Do you know anything about the kind of PT education, in new york university, university of florida or georgia sttae university. Also what is OCS PCS,I am unfamiliar with these terms Thanks a lot for your time and advice. Amelia
