Cresson, Pa. – Mount Aloysius College physical therapist assistant graduates have achieved a 100 percent pass rate on the National Physical Therapy Examination PTA for both 2022 and 2023.
“I’m incredibly proud of our PTA graduates,” said Emily Houseknecht, chair of the physical therapy assistant program. “The NPTE PTA is designed to really test the competency of PTA students to ensure that they’re well prepared to step into their careers. The fact that 100 percent of our graduates have passed the exam is a testament to the quality of our program and the hard work and dedication of our students.”
The NPTE PTA is designed to ensure that only individuals who have appropriate knowledge of physical therapy are licensed to serve as physical therapist assistants in the field and to help regulatory bodies evaluate individuals and provide standards of skill and knowledge. It is one part of the evaluation process to assess an individual’s abilities, and is essential to the licensing process.
