Massage
Therapy is meaningful work in which you can make a difference
in the quality of life for others and yourself. Never sell yourself
short by settling for less than a high quality education. Your
education is an investment in your future. |
- Learn
as much as you can about the profession of massage therapy in Ohio.
- Read
the Scope of Practice governing the licensure and practice of massage
therapy in Ohio. Go to our State of Ohio Medical Board Link.
- The
school should encourage and/or facilitate your talking with any
current student or graduates of your choosing (not just those picked
by the school.)
- Insist
on seeing accurate pass/fail rates on State Licensure Exam scores
for first time examinees for the last three years
from all schools. This information is also available through the
State of Ohio Medical Board offices.
- Talk
with faculty who teach at the schools you are considering and discuss
curriculum, classroom hours, their training, and philosophy about
education. Ask for the names of instructors.
- Attend
an orientation or open house, tour the school and ask to visit a
regularly scheduled class.
- Receive
a massage from a graduate of the school you are considering.
- Discuss
tuition and all costs involved in your whole education, financial
plans, refund policies, and make sure these are in writing. There
should be no small print, "hidden" costs, or long term
debt for your education.
- Learn
which organizations or approval/accrediting bodies with which the
schools are affiliated and for how long.
- Find
out how long the school has existed. Contact the State of Ohio Medical
Board for information about the school. Contact the Better Business
Bureau to find out about their standing in the community.
- Ask
yourself which school more closely represents your professional
goals and is a good match with your personality. On which campus
do you feel most comfortable?
Geography
and a school's advertising budget are probably two of the worst ways
in which to select a school...however tempting they may be!
