The doctor of physical therapy (DPT) degree is conferred jointly by Rutgers–Camden and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey School of Health Related Professions (UMDNJ–SHRP). Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Physical Therapy Association, the program builds upon a liberal arts education and integrates the humanities, scientific theory, and clinical experiences to provide entry-level competence in patient care, management, health care programming, community education and service, and scientific inquiry.
Students enjoy small classes taught by an enthusiastic faculty, including four full-time board-certified clinical specialists in orthopedic physical therapy, neurologic physical therapy, and cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapy. Interested students should apply through Rutgers–Camden.
