DOCTOR OF
PHYSICAL THERAPY
The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), scheduled to begin enrolling students in June 2022, will offer a program that anchors learning within our communities that we serve. Our vision is to transform societal health through physical therapy education by creating professionals who collaborate to serve the evolving, diverse needs of our communities. The program will emphasize developing professionals with knowledge, skills and abilities to practice in the unique environments our rural communities offer. The 2.5-year program is anchored in learning alongside expert faculty, through interprofessional experiences and with an emphasis on health promotion.
Steve Johnson, DPT Director of Clinical Education DPT Program
Rural communities face health problems that include serving an aging population with barriers tied to geography. That’s why our program is focused on preparing individuals for rural practice using innovative intervention strategies, augmented rehabilitation and tele-rehabilitation.
