"Physical therapists are playing an ever-expanding role in health care. They treat all kinds of conditions, including neuromuscular, integumentary, orthopedic, neurological, and cardiopulmonary disorders. Our doctoral students acquire the clinical skills necessary for practice in a diversity of settings, and they also become competent in evidence-based practice, clinical research, and health promotion." |

The Doctoral Program in Physical Therapy, which awards the DPT, is designed to prepare students to become clinician-scientists who can perform all aspects of physical therapy practice and conduct clinical research.
Areas of study
Two separate cohorts of students comprise the DPT program; those admitted to the Hunter College campus and those admitted to the College of Staten Island campus. Students will be prepared to examine, evaluate, diagnose, and intervene in the management of individuals with impairments in the cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and integumentary systems which result in functional limitations and disability. The program meets changing national standards as well as community needs for physical therapists working in a multitude of settings, especially in the diverse multicultural, multiethnic population residing in the New York metropolitan area.
Clinical Affiliations
A variety of clinical affiliations are available for students to acquire their clinical experiences. The clinical placements will allow for the opportunity to work with diverse populations.
