Program Strengths
Earn your advanced degree from home
Convenience is a primary strength of the PPDPT Program. Because the program is offered online, you can complete course work from your home or office. Once you are accepted, you can register for courses prior to the start of any module. Each course has a specific start and stop date and specific due dates for assignments. This program format is different from programs designed as self-paced or independent study.
The program builds upon your knowledge and skills as a practicing physical therapist by augmenting your clinical competencies and decision-making skills for developing therapeutic plans. Along with an emphasis on clinical skills, the program considers administrative and management skills as they contribute to effective patient care. The program addresses the role of manual therapy, discusses wellness and prevention in relation to patient education, and reinforces professional behaviors and ongoing development.
We encourage commitment to continued learning, health care, and the political sphere as related to physical therapy. Students are also expected to become active in professional issues by serving as advocates and resources for community health promotion.
