The program, clinic, and clinical experiences prepared me for real life situations, and I went into the National Boards feeling confident because of the rigorous testing from our teachers. It helped me find my passion for helping others. I was offered a job months before graduation and I was more than prepared to start my career. Thank you LSC PTA program.” – Samantha Swenson, 2011 LSC Graduate |
| “I think it’s a great program. You leave it feeling confident in your well-rounded knowledge. The onsite clinic and the patients offer a different and real-time view of how to manage your time, interventions, etc., that you won’t get from just a class room scenario; and for this you are more prepared for the clinicals. Awesome instructors as well.” – Vicki K, 2009 LSC Graduate |
