Just the other day I was talking to my old roommate from college. She went to school to become a physical therapist and we were talking about the challenges of being a full time physical therapist as well as a full time mom. She also wanted to find time to fit in an advanced degree in physical therapy. Since my background is in education, I mentioned to her about online medical schools that offer online health doctorate programs. The one that she wanted to pursue was called a transitional physical therapy online degree. This meant that she would learn additional skills to augment her already knowledgeable physical therapy skills.
She was absolutely thrilled to find out that there were online programs that had flexibility as an option because of the very full life that she was currently enjoying. Having a program such as this was an added bonus to making her life a little more do-able! When people have a passion for learning, I do not think it is something that you lose and people should foster it when you can. This online option was a perfect fit for her, and I think that it is something that she will end up doing by the end of the year.
