Preparation for Doctorate in Physical Therapy
Dates/Times: Sunday, April 5, 11:00am • Thursday, April 30, 6:30pm EST
Physical therapists are the medical professionals who help us restore physical mobility and function in times of pain and discomfort. Whether in need of recovery from a debilitating injury or dealing with the side-effects of aging, clients turn to physical therapists to help relieve pain and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities.
The College of Staten Island (CSI) is proud to offer the Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT). The DPT Program is designed to prepare students to become clinicians who can perform all aspects of clinical physical therapy practice.
Before applying to CSI’s DPT program students must successfully complete academic and clinical pre-requisite requirements. The Pre-DPT program provides advisement and guidance as students prepare for doctoral study.
The webinar will explain the structure, opportunities and benefits of the DPT program at CSI.
