The Purpose of the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program (DPT) is to Prepare Physical
Therapists Who Will:
- Be primary providers of physical therapy care.
- Serve as responsible members in the professional community and are willing and able to
assume leadership roles in the communities they serve. - Identify researchable problems, advocate and participate in research, and incorporate
