I’m another allied health professions person…a speech pathologist. Like OT, the flexibility in courses just isn’t there. We had clinical requirements and we were assigned these around class time…not other things. Courses were taken in a specific very inflexible sequence. Many science lab courses as well as the clinical work.
I did undergrad and then grad both in speech pathology. Neither had any flexibility in schedule.
And we had clinical assignments on weekends in grad school. No choice.
If this student really wants to play college interscholastic baseball, perhaps he should get an undergrad degree…and play baseball. Then apply to PA or PT programs as a grad student. His grades will need to be tippy top.
But then he could play ball year round during undergrad…and then concentrate on his PT or PA studies later.
