At Baton Rouge General, Physical Therapy Assistants play a vital role in helping patients regain independence and improve quality of life. Our rehab teams focus on collaboration, compassionate care, and clinical excellence to support every patient’s recovery.

This position will be in the lymphedema department so prior experience with patients who have lymphedema or cancer would be ideal. However, we are certainly open to someone new who has interest in this space and willing to train in these areas as needed. You would work alongside a great team of occupational and physical therapists with many years of experience in the lymphedema and cancer realm.
