In the midst of becoming a PT, it is mandatory that the student take on benevolent traits. According to Ankota Healthcare and Delivery Management, there are 10 obligatory qualities a PT should have. One must have a very keen sense of observatory skills to identify the problem wrong with the patient. The next step is to solve that problem, and in order to do such the student must be exorbitantly knowledgeable- knowledge sources are plentiful and pervasive!

However, the school staff relies on therapists for medical and clinical expertise.
