P&HCC opens June 15-26 application window for fall PTA cohort

Students considering a health-care career at Patrick & Henry Community College have a short application window to track this month.

The college lists the next application period for the Physical Therapist Assistant program as June 15 through June 26, 2026. A campus notice also says applications for the fall 2026 PTA cohort are open until 5 p.m. June 26, with applicants required to attend an interest session to be considered for admission.

The PTA program is a two-year associate degree designed to prepare students to work under the direction and supervision of a physical therapist. For Martinsville, Henry County and Patrick County students, the deadline matters because allied-health training is one of the clearest local paths into clinical support work without leaving the region for a four-year program first.

• What to know: The application window runs June 15-26, 2026, with the deadline listed as 5 p.m. June 26.
• Who is affected: Prospective P&HCC health-care students, adult learners and workers looking for a clinical career change.
• Why it matters: Health-care training deadlines can close quickly, and the required interest session adds another step before admission.

Students should use P&HCC's official PTA page and application links, then contact the program director or health program advisor listed by the college if they need help confirming requirements.
