Ep. 16 - Career Path Highlight: Active Duty Air Force Physical Therapy

This week on The Better You Movement Podcast, I sat down with Air Force physical therapists Maj Walter and Capt Ali to talk all things military PT and whether this career path may be right for you.

We discussed their PT journeys prior to receiving their commission via direct accession, what makes military PT so unique in its expanded scope of practice, settings military PT's practice in, balancing the roles of PT as well as officer, salary and benefits, professional development opportunities, deployment, and what it takes to make it in this career field.

I came into this episode with so many questions and Maj Walter and Capt Ali delivered BIG TIME! If you or someone you know is interested in this career field or if you've never even looked into it, this episode will not disappoint. Take notes!

If you have further questions, you can reach out to Maj Walter at ewalt32@gmail.com.
