  • Educate patients on exercises, recovery expectations, and injury prevention
  • Ensure a positive, professional, and engaging patient experience

Qualifications

  • Graduate of an accredited Physical Therapist Assistant program
  • Active Maryland PTA license (or ability to obtain prior to start)
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced outpatient setting
  • Commitment to high-quality patient care and outcomes
  • New graduates are encouraged to apply

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly rate ($33.60–$36/hour)
  • Supportive and collaborative clinical environment
  • Modern EMR system with user-friendly documentation
