Jeremy Emmons, teacher at Morristown-West, will be teaching a new Physical Therapist Aide (P.T. Aide) class starting next school year. This course recognizes students who have the knowledge and skills to assist a physical therapist and a physical therapy assistant in the clinical setting. The P.T. Aide credential is throughout all of Tennessee and the country. Physical Therapist Aides are employed at hospitals, clinics, doctors’ offices, and other sport or rehabilitation facilities. This class is open to juniors and seniors who have taken either Anatomy and Physiology or Rehab Careers with Emmons. Morristown-West will be offering a certification for this course.
