ATC applying to PT school

[maurerpower7]

Hi Everyone. I recently graduated with my Athletic Training degree. During my undergraduate career, I obtained over 1200 hours of experience working directly with patients to treat and rehabilitate their various injuries. This unfortunately doesn't count as "PT" experience. What is the best way to discuss my experiences on my application? So far I'm not seeing a great place to do this.

Essays are always a good place to include something like this.

Extracurricular activities section of the PTCAS application can be used to communicate type of experience and the number of hours spent. Essays can also be helpful. However, if your experience wasn't in conjunction with a PT, refrain from trying to communicate that as PT observation experience.
