Is it possible to become an Athletic Trainer and a Physical Therapist?
My goal is to be a professional in sports medicine field. I came from another country to learn sports medicine as I want to become an Athletic Trainer. I know it is pretty hard since I am a second language learner, however I am also interested in nutrition, physical therapy, and orthopaedic/sports doctor. Becoming a sports doctor might be impossible, so I was thinking about majoring in kinesiology and have a minor in nutrition (4 year university), but if it is possible, I would like to become both an athletic trainer and a physical therapist. I am currently in Community College with Kinesiology major. The hardest point here is I am 23 yrs old and have a 2 yrs old son. I really want to be woking for patients and athletes. Is it possible for me to get double licenses? If so, after I finish BS in Kinesiology, can I apply for DPT? Sorry for complicated details.

Should I choose an obscure major for Physical Therapy school or stick with Exercise Science?
I am going to be a first year undergraduate student in the fall at Pacific University Oregon. The most popular majors are the health sciences and I am planning on majoring in Exercise Science. However, I know it is very difficult to get into Doctor of Physical Therapy school after I graduate and I've heard that majoring in something other than Exercise Science/Kinesiology can make you stand out on your application. I would still earn all of my prerequisites for DPT school but I was thinking in majoring in something else that I'm interested in such as Journalism or Political Science. Should I stick with Exercise Science as my major, or go for something more obscure that will help me stand out during the application process? #physical-therapist #therapy #physical-therapy #physical #exercise-physiology #exercise-science #kinesiology
