Answer 1

There is no physical therapy program that results in graduation in 6-7 months. All programs in the US are now currently at the master's degree or doctorate level. If you have a bachelor's degree already, you may be able to apply to a PT program, but you have to have met the schools pre-requisite courses which have a heavy emphasis in chemistry, biology, physics, and psychology. Once admitted to the professional phase of the program, there is a minimum of 2-3 years of coursework. One can expect to spend about 6 months on clinical rotations alone.

Even the physical therapy assistant program is a minimum of two years and results in an associates degree.

Perhaps, someone was referring to a PT aide program. Some communities present this course for those who wish to be PT aides, but these workers are primarily on the job trained personel who do a variety of tasks from clerical work to helping a therpaist perform a treatment.
