In this episode, we talk to Jeremy Foster, PTA about his trip to the World Confederation of Physical Therapy (WCPT) Congress. Jeremy describes what Physical Therapist Assistants “look like” on the international level.  He describes how he ended up going to Dubai to present information to other countries about how a PTA works in the US, and how this could be applied to other countries in the field of physical therapy.  During the show Jeremy goes into details about making this a mission for himself, his future goals to bring the PTA to other countries, and the grassroots efforts he is working on for the future. Listen to hear more about Jeremy, his work in the field of physical therapy, his advocacy for PTAs and how he is a PTA+!
