The Transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy Program is a post-professional physical therapist education program that:
- allows the U.S. licensed physical therapist to obtain the clinical doctorate by demonstrating knowledge commensurate with that of current professional (entry-level) Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program outcomes
- takes into account the learner's knowledge and experience
The transitional or "bridge" DPT is designed for those licensed physical therapists from a CAPTE-accredited program to earn the DPT in 24-49 units, depending on their educational and clinical background. Graduates have a solid generalist perspective of patient care in a variety of professional treatment settings with a strong foundation for post-professional specialization and lifelong learning.
