This session will explain how an increase in demand for Physical Therapy Assistants led Whatcom Community College, located in northwestern Washington, to develop an online version of its Physical Therapy Assistant program. Whatcom Community College then partnered with Yakima Valley Community College and area clinics in eastern Washington to increase opportunities for students and graduates. This award-winning program aimed at increasing the number of PTA graduates in Washington State and now has expanded to include students from not only Eastern Washington, but Oregon, Alaska, and California
