The Â鶹¹û¶³ PTA program is fortunate to have the support of many clinical partners who volunteer to provide clinical instruction for our students. The program is committed to expanding clinical education opportunities for PTA students and PT/PTAs alike. Site Coordinators of Clinical Education (SECEs) and licensed PT/PTAs who would like to become a clinical education site are encouraged to contact Beth Ann Thorpe, thorpeb@lanecc.edu, Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education.
