DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy) programs

Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs are graduate-level educational courses designed to train individuals to become licensed physical therapists. These programs typically last three years and combine classroom instruction with clinical practice. Students learn about anatomy, biomechanics, and rehabilitation techniques to help patients recover from injuries, manage pain, and improve mobility. Upon completing a DPT program, graduates must pass a national licensure exam to practice professionally. DPT programs emphasize hands-on experience and critical thinking, preparing therapists to work in various settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and sports facilities.
