As the role of the physical therapist has expanded in recent years to include increased responsibilities in the areas of critical inquiry, clinical decision-making, diagnosis of impairments, and diagnosis of functional limitations and disabilities, our program has adapted. We prepare you to provide direct care to patients following illness or injury, as well as to participate in prevention and wellness, health promotion, and health screening activities. You learn to function as a clinician, educator, consultant, scholar, or potential administrator in the field.
