PTCentral Web Site Tour

Welcome. This tour will introduce you to the many areas and information of the PTCentral web site. Below is a description of each of the major areas on this site.

Physical Therapy Information
	Physical Therapy is a dynamic, caring profession. It has the goal of helping to resolve musculoskeletal problems, and return the client to better health. This is an area that will give you background in the profession's past and current outlook.

Online University

Students need efficient access to high quality study materials. I am currently a DPT student, and I have realized over and over that the medical profession has been behind the rest of the online world in the quality and volume of educational content that is available. We can all be thankful that this situation is starting to change. Our goal with Online University is to offer a growing collection of medically related class material. Over time, some of these materials will be organized into a CEU generating service (Don't hold your breath on that one... If you have any knowledge of this process, I would like to hear about it.)

I would welcome any class materials that you would like to share for public use on this web site. Please make sure that the study materials are enough of your own work as to not infringe on an existing copyright. If class notes were word for word from your instructor, it would be best to ask the professor for permission to publish them on the Internet.

News, Jobs & Events
	There is a wealth of brand new information and procedures on the Internet. The news area serves as a collection of links to these late breaking stories to help keep you informed. Are you looking for a change? There are employers who wish to get the word out about their open positions.

PT Resources & Links

This area is destined to become a vast and comprehensive collection of Internet links to online associations (such as APTA chapters, districts and sections), clinics that are on the web, and a section on medical information. If you are searching the web for medical information, this a good place to start.

Each key resource will be individually evaluated and rated so that you know in advance the quality of the material presented.
