The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) is a joint Oregon Tech and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) program that will provide a comprehensive entry-level and post-baccalaureate DPT education, with the unique focus of preparing high quality graduates with the skills to become practitioners of choice and leaders in rural physical therapy practice. The DPT program will ensure graduates develop competence in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with health or medical conditions that may affect movement and mobility. 

The Doctor of Physical Therapy curriculum has the potential to undergo curriculum changes with program assessment, changes in higher education, the health care environment, and the nature of contemporary physical therapy practice. Evidence will be used to make these curricular changes.
