Therapy – Physical Therapy Assistant | Days (4x8)

Each winter, Yuma, AZ swells as tens of thousands of snowbirds settle in to escape the cold, and the seasonal population shift ripples through the local services. The radiology and rehab clinics feel that influx alongside the year-round demand from the area's farms and the Marine Corps Air Station on the edge of town. Yuma sits in Arizona's southwest corner on I-8, which runs west toward San Diego and east toward Phoenix, with the Colorado River marking the California line just to the west and Mexico close to the south. The valley's irrigated fields make it one of the country's winter-vegetable centers, which keeps a working population in town year-round. Summer heat is the real adjustment here, so anyone starting in July should plan seriously around the conditions.
