Is the t-DPT just another professional (entry-level) degree?
Yes and no. It is analogous to the professional (entry-level) DPT degree in that the majority of transition program curricula include coursework that reflects the augmentation in professional (entry-level) content that has occurred over the past 5-10 years. Put differently, the t-DPT is fully consistent with the current professional DPT standard; it does NOT indicate the acquisition of advanced clinical knowledge, skills, and behaviors beyond that standard.
