Physical Therapy DPT

The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) in Temple’s College of Public Health is a rigorous professional program that prepares students for entry-level generalist physical therapy practice in a variety of clinical and community settings. This program emphasizes evidence-based decision-making, a collaborative learning environment, strong faculty mentorship, and state-of-the-art facilities and resources.

Physical therapists examine, evaluate and treat patients who have movement-related disorders or conditions that affect their ability to move freely and without pain. DPT students engage in both classroom education and real-world practice through extensive clinical experiences. Our cohort model gives you opportunities to form lasting relationships with faculty and classmates, and to build your future professional network. Students learn from physical therapy faculty at Temple, many of whom maintain active clinical practices or engage in innovative research.
