Enlist as a 68W (Healthcare specialist). You need to pass this course first. This will be your MOS.
In your contract, have it state that after the 68W course, you go for the additional school for either N3 (Army's Occupational Therapy Assistant), or N9 (physical therapy technician). These are additional skill identifiers to the 68W MOS. The 68W MOS is a pre-requisite for taking either of those courses.
When completely done with training, your MOS would be 68W-N9 (Medic/ PT tech.)

Max is 100% corect. For once someone answers with a very accurate response. You will firt become a 68W, following that you will continue your Occupational which I believe for PT is another 8-10 weeks if I remember correctly. You do not need any type of degree to enlist into this MOS.

relatively there's a trend. And this could be an incredible thank you to get some unfastened education. incredibly nursing. in case you desire the wellness care expert direction, you in many cases have ot get the exterior college preparation direction.

Forget about it, go to grad school. When you're a wee bit older, if you still want to, go in as an officer.
