School of Physical Therapy
The primary goal of the School of Physical Therapy is to graduate a well-rounded and highly competent clinician. Ten full-time faculty members with diverse clinical backgrounds, along with adjunct faculty, offer an entry-level curriculum that is well balanced in the areas of orthopedic, neurologic, and general physical therapy with attention to the needs of pediatric patients, geriatric patients, and other special populations.
Our program runs three academic years, with summers off. Starting at the end of the first year of study, clinical internships are intermixed with the academic coursework. By graduation, students have spent 36 weeks in full-time clinical internships. We currently affiliate with approximately 250 clinic sites in 13 states, with the majority in the Pacific Northwest.
