Why earn a transitional/post-professional doctor of physical therapy degree?
Many physical therapists are familiar with the American Physical Therapy Association’s Vision 2020, which states that by the year 2020 physical therapy will be provided by doctors of physical therapy. The majority of entry-level physical therapy education programs are offering the D.P.T. degree. Transitional D.P.T. (t-D.P.T.) programs give U.S.-licensed physical therapists the opportunity for degree parity with new and recent graduates. In addition, t-D.P.T. programs let seasoned physical therapists update their knowledge and skills.
