Resume tips for physical therapist assistants
- Use the exact licensed title, physical therapist assistant. That is the phrase recruiters and ATS filters search for.
- Name your settings and caseload. Outpatient ortho at 12 patients a day is a different job than SNF at 8.
- List your documentation systems. WebPT and Net Health show up as keyword filters on the hiring side.
- Show plan-of-care work. Give an example like progressing post-op knee patients through protocol milestones.
- If your productivity numbers are strong, include them. Rehab directors live by that metric.
- List recent CEUs that match the job, like manual therapy or vestibular courses.
