What is the difference between a professional (entry-level) DPT program and the “transition” DPT program?
The professional (entry-level) DPT is awarded upon completion of a physical therapist professional education program; the “transition” DPT is typically awarded to a licensed physical therapist upon completion of a postprofessional education program and signifies augmented knowledge, skills, and behaviors that are equivalent to CURRENT entry-level education standards. This learner-centered augmentation provides the physical therapist with knowledge, skills, and behaviors that have been added to the professional (entry-level) curricula since the learner’s year of graduation.
