Clinical Education
A strong history of comprehensive clinical education exists for professional students. The clinical education for the DPT program is integrated in the didactic portions of the curriculum so that knowledge obtained in the classroom is readily put into practice. The DPT program has contracts with more than 800 clinical
sites across the nation, representing all facets of professional practice.
Students are required to complete four clinical education experiences
that offer various levels of acuity in different clinical environments. The first clinical education experience is 6 weeks in length, clinical education II and III are 10 weeks long, and the fourth experience, the clinical internship, is 12 weeks.
Students may select from clinical sites that offer experiences in pediatrics,
adult rehabilitation, geriatrics, orthopedics, sports medicine, and industrial
and occupational rehabilitation.

Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences Overview page on the College of
