Doesn’t a DPT program teach more research, and allow one to conduct more research than an MPT program?
Physical therapy programs vary in their emphasis on the research component, and it does not relate to the degree awarded. The DPT degree, like the MPT, is a professional entry-level degree that prepares graduates for professional practice, not for being a researcher. Because research emphasis varies by program, it is advisable to ensure that your research interests match with the requirements of any program you are considering.
