What is a Transition DPT?
The Transition DPT degree is a structured, post-professional educational experience that results in the augmentation of knowledge, skills, and behaviors to a level consistent with the current professional (entry-level) DPT standards. The SAU Transition DPT Program is designed for physical therapists holding a current PT license and evidence of graduation from a CAPTE accredited professional, entry-level PT Program. It focuses on enhancing clinical reasoning and promoting evidence-based practice across a range of practice patterns. It is not meant to develop specialists in only one area.
