Question

What classes should you take in high school to become a physical therapist?

Answer 1

I would contact college programs and ask them what they suggest.  When I was considering PT as a career, I found out while visiting colleges that I needed to have physics so after my senior year had already started, I needed to jump into a class and play catch up.  You could also contact the physical therapy association for feedback but I think colleges are your best option.

Answer 2

biology  pharmacology  science and all other medical classes you can  i am in pharmacy tech. i have to take 12 med classes so the more you take in school the less you will have trouble with in colloge

Answer 3

If your High School offers it, you should take an Anatomy class. And take alot of  sciences as well. Most PT work is circled around college courses, but it would be ideal to be able to either intern with a PT or be able to shadow them at work to make sure it is what you want to do.
