Is the t-DPT only for practicing physical therapists?
No. The Transition DPT degree is available to anyone with a US license or is licensure eligible to practice as a physical therapist and who has earned a professional baccalaureate, certificate, or master’s degree in physical therapy. Thus, physical therapist practitioners, educators, administrators, managers, and researchers can pursue a Transition DPT degree. Specific requirements for graduation may vary, however, depending upon your earned professional physical therapist degree, current knowledge, skills, and experiences, and the specific Transition DPT program that you elect to complete.
