As a physical therapy student, you’ll partner with professors who are experts in primary care, pediatrics, manual therapy, neuroscience, orthopedics, biomechanics and sports medicine. The insight they offer you will transform your practice.
Our office doors are open, and you’ll encounter a spirit of collaboration – not competition. Beyond that, our faculty will serve as mentors who will train you to focus on the whole person, considering not only clients’ physical health but their mental, emotional and spiritual well-being as well.
