Hi everyone!
This is very long winded, and I apologize but...
I am a physical therapy student, and lately I've been having second thoughts about my decision to pursue PT.
I took the AIMS (Aptitude Inventory measurement Service) aptitude test a few years ago, and speech pathology was a strong suggestion for me. I shadowed both SLPs and PTs and just couldnt decide between the two. I got my bachelors in biology and applied to both post bacc/Masters SLP programs and PT programs. I only got into PT school, so I took it as a sign and just went for it.
My problem now is that I'm not loving what we are learning, I love people, but I don't like touching them as much as a PT is required to. I also find stretching and working on ROM boring and ineffective. Im doing really well in my classes but don't know if this is for me.
So basically, my questions are:
1. Should I continue with PT even though I'm uncomfortable and don't have a peace about it?
2. How would my previous enrollment in a professional program effect my chances of getting into SLP?
