Ringkasan program

This program provides opportunities for interactive learning in problem-oriented, competency-based curriculum focused on primary body systems (cardiopulmonary, integumentary, musculoskeletal and neurosensory). The experienced professional faculty provides an exceptional blend of educational, research and clinical expertise for students desiring a career in physical therapy. Students should be aware that all physical therapist professional education programs in the United States are subject to accreditation "standards that assure quality and continuous improvement in the entry-level preparation of physical therapists, and reflect the evolving nature of education, research, and practice." Physical therapists (PTs) help a wide variety of patients, including accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions, such as low-back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries and cerebral palsy. PTs provide services that restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities. They restore, maintain and promote overall fitness and health.
