Northern Arizona University College of Health & Human Services Physical Therapy, D.P.T. PO Box 150105 Flagstaff, AZ 86011-5105 US   Phone: 928-523-4092   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Doctoral On Campus   The Program in Physical Therapy within the Department of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training offers two different curriculums leading to the doctor of physical therapy degree (DPT). It is a primary mission of the department to prepare physical therapists to assume leadership roles within the health care system through entry-level and post professional residential and distance learning experiences which integrate teaching, research, service, and clinical education through emerging information technologies. In this way, graduates are able to contribute to the solutions of current as well as future health care issues. The Entry-Level DPT is for those individuals who are not physical therapists, but wish to become one. This program prepares students to take the National Physical Therapy Examination for licensure in any of the 50 states upon graduation. Students gain clinical practice competencies via teaching and mentoring opportunities with the core faculty, clinical adjunct faculty, and clinical educators. The Post-Professional DPT is for those individuals who are already licensed physical therapists, but wish to obtain a doctoral degree through advanced study. Beyond the fundamental differences between the two programs, both degrees are designed to prepare students to be life-long learners, critical thinkers, and clinically competent practitioners who function autonomously within a complex health care system. The innovative curriculum for both programs is organized around the four principle practice patterns of the Musculoskeletal, Neuromuscular, Cardiopulmonary, and Integumentary systems.
