Signature Pedagogy

Our Doctor of Physical Therapy program produces well-rounded, contemporary Physical Therapists who will be able to effectively analyze and optimize movement. The curricular framework aims to cultivate professionals who can effectively collaborate, provide holistic care, and continuously adapt and grow in response to evolving health care challenges.

Our signature pedagogy centers around fostering adaptive learning strategies to equip students with the responsibility of managing the well-being and whole health of individuals and communities in their professional practice.

Our program features collaborative learning environments with other health care professionals, simulation based practice, and enhanced technology for student preparation into clinical education where we expect our graduates to overcome movement barriers, increase access to care, and improve the health outcomes of all patients and clients.
